Default Bird taxidermists?

Can someone please suggest a really good bird taxidermist, specifically for a falcon mount. I’d really like to take it to the best that I can find. Thank you for your suggestions.

End of thread.

Ben is a bird wizard. I have a fish replica from him that is also impeccable.

But his birds are unmatched. Worth the wait and cost.

Particularly for a falcon, art of is the only option I’d even consider. Be ready for a waitlist but it’s worth it.

X4... for the Art of Taxidermy

The 7th bird of mine he is doing is in his freezer and the 8th bird is in my freezer....maybe even a 9th before November is over

Coming home and seeing the birds on the wall in my entryway makes me happy all year long.sometimes i even sit on the couch and look at them while drinking a coffee.

I think if you pay more, he can get it done sooner

Another option is Mountainview in Olds.

He did a great job with my Great Grey last year.

Highly recommended
