Going to get into bird taxidermy, too....
Well I've already done some taxidermy on mammals. A deer, fox and a few squirrels. Now I want to learn how to do birds. We were going to the store and on the road right down a few minutes from my house there was a dead bird of some sort lying there. I asked my Pap Pap of we could stop on the way back to check it out. Well, when we did, it turned out to be a male ringneck pheasant in decent condition, except for some missing feathers on the neck. If I can't find a good pose to mount it in to hide that flaw, then at least I can use it for skinning practice. Anyways, I think I am just going to mount it for the first time experience. It's in the freezer now. I might order the Van Dyke's Pheasant Mounting kit with video.
