Crow mount - behind the scenes

[JerseyJaysTaxidermy]

Here is a behind the scenes crow mount I took photos during a few years ago.. dug up the photos to show the different technique from my last duck mount post which used artificial head and commercial body.

 

This crow I used the real skull, and hand carved the body out of foam as they don't have many options for commercial head/bodies on the marked for crows.

 

In these photos you will see the process of putting a crow back together, using the real skull and body carved from a block of foam.

Nice job, but I normally mount crows in the dirt.

Hello Friend. I am a beginner in the taxidermy of birds and I have some doubts. After you take off the skin, how do you wash the feathers? How do you dry the feathers? How do you organize the penalties in place? Thank you!
