I'm always on the lookout for a freshly dead bluejay, on account of them being beautiful and all. Skinning a small bird is super easy (I did a yellow shafted flicker that had plowed into a glass building) --then the skin is preserved by rubbing borax washing powder into it. After that you just stick stiff wire up through the legs and into the wings to make it pose-able, stuff it, sew up the incision and you will have a beautifully mounted bird! OK, well maybe there are a few extra steps (google small bird taxidermy to find detailed instructions) but its easy and you will end up with a lifelike new blue buddy!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />PaulPaul Baxendalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02676178777637890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696764075145212205.post-20982715708769716352010-07-16T02:19:05.242-04:002010-07-16T02:19:05.242-04:00it seems either you are in some country fair anima...it seems either you are in some country fair animal tent or that you are visiting an antique shop, now a days such things are only found in these placesHenna @ AboutCabinets Bloghttp://www.aboutcabinets.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696764075145212205.post-75753331097595199482010-07-15T22:53:23.033-04:002010-07-15T22:53:23.033-04:00Just wanted to say I really like your blog - keep ...Just wanted to say I really like your blog - keep up the great work!!<br /><br />Steve<br />common cents<br />http://www.commoncts.blogspot.comcommoncentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497825816313122743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696764075145212205.post-44733909515757909222010-07-15T22:20:08.095-04:002010-07-15T22:20:08.095-04:00Absolutely adore your blog.

I have a wood duck and a blue jay in my freezer right now (both dead when I found them) awaiting preservation. The bluejay will go in formaldehyde for sure, but the wood duck is too big and too beautiful for a wet specimen. I'm waiting until I have enough money to have him taxidermied.Octohawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708336578067787571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696764075145212205.post-15340069701825548902010-07-15T17:46:15.856-04:002010-07-15T17:46:15.856-04:00That looks like the type of antique store I am ALW...That looks like the type of antique store I am ALWAYS hoping to stumble upon during road trips!!!
