Birds Only Taxidermy
Welcome to Birds Only! Taxidermy. Feel free to browse the site and as you do please remember I specialize in Wild Turkey Taxidermy Only. I believe that in order to provide you the customer the best, most realistic, and most artistic turkey mount possible that I should specialize in one thing and not many. I choose to to limit my intake of birds each season to 100 in the spring season and I put 25 on what I call my fall list. I only take a few turkey a year in order to reassure that you will recieve your trophy within a decent time frame of a year or less, with the quality you expect. I hope you will see in my work that I am passionate about my work. I am and always will be seeking to get better in the years to come because quality not quantity is a must at Birds Only! Taxidermy.
All mounts as of 2020 are $1100 per mount (Includes floor base or limb). Pedestals $250. Shingled birds extra $500
