First bird trophies for someone's grandsons.

[glass eye]

A lady brought me her grandson's first bird and the next day the other grandson got his first.

Now that is freakin cool! A great idea for a first of hopefully many for those little boys..... Hummm, as soon as the boys get a pellet gun in their hand I may be getting a Vole mounted...

Those look great! Must be a pain to mount.

Nice work Breck! Love the subtle differences...The one on the left is chillin and the one on the right has spotted me and is about to launch into his last flight!

As a young person, I tried to learn taxidermy form the Northwest School of Taxidermy (.....The 1st bird I tried was a dove that I bagged in my backyard.....Needless to say, I had feathers everywhere, and I gave up my schooling..... :lol:

Doves & pigeons, I've been told are the true test for a taxi man.....Great looking mounts as usual Breck...... :smiley_10sign:

Having dabbled in scientific preservation of game animals for my college I will second that doves and pigeons are extremely difficult. Their skin is like tissue paper and the feathers fall out like crazy, out of six attempts at Doves or pigeons I have one that is decent. GlassEye I give you mad props that looks great!
