How does the process of bringing back birds for taxidermy differ from plains game?

Doing a 3 day waterfowl hunt in South Africa after a plains game hunt , how does the process of bringing back birds for taxidermy differ from plains game or is it the same system ?

This is one place where I’d consider having the work done over there.

Had a couple white hreasted crows done and no additional paperwork was required. Just listed them on the USF&W forms as wild.

From southern Africa, which has Newcastle Disease and/or Avian flu, according to the USDA Animal Products Manual page 3-20-10 table 3-20-5 it either has to be a fully finished mount or the unfinished skin must go to an approved facility. So the same as swine (warthog or bushpig) or zebra.
