Description
And to think that most people think our Magpie is just a "plain" black and white bird...This piece feature on the Great Irish Game fair as a display item to show people that taxidermy doesn't always have to be ugly, stiff or creepy.
During this fair I also held demonstrations. On Saturday I worked on a red-leg partridge, and on Sunday I worked on a wee female Kestrel.
~To whom it may concern, (please read before accusing me of anything!)
The animal used in this project died a natural cause. None of the animals I work on are killed for the purpose of taxidermy alone and most are found along side the road or come from bird/animal breeders in the area.

A truly beautiful piece. It captures the bird's natural beauty as it was while alive.
This is what taxidermy is all about.

Randomly types 'taxidermy' on the search box and a magpie comes up in the first row. That's just my favorite bird!
This is really awesome!

Oh, that's a good price!
Are you just selling this bird or are you, eventually, interested in getting a mouflon cape for mounting as a partial trade?
I don't know how much (and if you are) into trades - but asking for it doesn't hurt, does it? ^^

This magpie has been around for some time and really needs a good home
Oooohh... have you pictures of the Mouflon cape in question? I hadn't even thought of a barter, but if it's a decent cape I wouldn't mind!
