I have these two Egyptian Geese a Pair actually that I would like to mount standing in a rock (wall pedestal fashion).

Does anyone know of a Taxidermist is RSA that can actually get these birds skinned properly for shipment OR
Does anyone know of someone who can mount them and have them look like I did not do the work myself.
(quite a few guys appear to be colour blind)

It appears bird guys are very rare indeed, never mind Good bird guys.

Thanks for your suggestions.
 
Brick sent you a Pm and what you need...
 
When I saw the title I was going to say send them to Glen Browning, down in Surrey. He is a world champ and a true artist. However, field prep is another deal all together. Im glad Dennis has already given you what you need. (y)
 
Andre Van Rooyen. Will pm you details.
 
Salting geese to import is a terrible idea btw
Personally if I were you , but this is my opinion and take it for what it's worth get some from here.
If they are just Egyptian Geese, they have them here many breeders.
But that is for me. About 50 to 75 bucks a bird.
This time of year they are really nicely feathered and get better every week.
 
Thank you for the suggestions.

Dennis that is certainly an interesting option.

I like the price of dip/ship on that option. :

You will definitely get a better mount from a fresh specimen than from a dried and shipped bird.

yes Andre can help, and with Fish also.

I looked at his facebook, his birds are nice but his fish are absolutely insane!!! World class!!! You wont find anyone on either side of the pond doing better fish work. (y)
 
Brick got a guy , my bird brained friend. Bird Taxidermist National champ and State champ. can get you a pair here
You want a price bought and mounted?
Let me know
Thanks
 
Yeah, and let this guy know what you want to do with your geese. They taking up space in my freezer and every time I look at them, I get hungry.
 
Andre Van Rooyen does a great job on birds...

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
