The hard work is now behind you. It's time to ship the bird to your favorite taxidermist. This part is pretty routine, so let's go: Properly wrapped birds may be simply placed into a box and filled with newspaper or styrofoam peanuts packed tightly around the package. Place the packaged bird in the center of the box to get the most insulation out of the packing material. Enclose your personal information and information on the specimen. Seal the box, address it and put the entire package back into the freezer for a day, so as to freeze the entire contents. Call your taxidermist and ship the box "next day air" by an express parcel service so that your shipment arrives promptly. Take care; on "next day" freight, shippers charge by dimension as well as weight, therefore keep the box size to a minimum. © Stefan Savides Now find out how to display your mount.
