The unnamed 22 year-old has been arrested in connection with a break in at the museum back in June. The birds that were stolen were all rare and would have fetched a fair amount on the black market, showing that the unnamed suspect knew what he was doing. Most of the stuffed birds have now been recovered.
The Natural History Museum at Tring is famous for its collection of more than 750,000 preserved birds, 95% of all the world's species.
