Making Better Bird Taxidermy

Sometimes my list of details got a bit silly complex and took ages, this was great for me and I personally learnt a lot but apart from being slow it was also very species specific, so I thought I would try and make a measurement sheet I could use on a daily basis across all species. If we all use a standard measurement sheet then when you get a bird skin with no body you could use someone else's measurements to help make a better mount. My goal is to have this or some version of it as a standard that hopefully will be a useful resource to taxidermists.

I have been using a version of this sheet for over 20 years and now would not start a bird without it, at first it may look complex but remember you do not need all the measurements and you get quick at filling the measurement sheet in. Bird taxidermy measurement sheet help
