Pricing
If you are shipping birds to the studio, you by law need to fill out a tag below for each bird and print it. It needs to be with the bird at all times and with it when shipped.
Do not send birds to me if you are not ready to pay the deposit. Half deposit is required up front. In person you will not leave the studio without your bird unless you pay. If you can't afford to have a bird mounted do not burden me by leaving birds here. Layaways are not tolerated! 30 day pay rule on birds on arrival and once completed. Late fees are $20 a week for 2 months till I own the bird and late fees also mean they are then out of any liability. Depending on the severity of late payments, I can report it to D.O.W or make a claim

*We charge $25 and up for using any of the wood available at the studio or ghost hangers ($20) for flying birds. Custom bases, driftwood and ordered bases from the studio are an extra charge and is due with the initial payment when sending the bird in for taxidermy.
*If you provide a base there is no charge unless habitat is added.
Payments are half up front with base and half due when the bird is picked up.
Bird prices for services are non negotiable. Bases are quoted with materials and labor involved.
***We do ship****
Shipping has strict tagging requirements as displayed above. Always ship birds frozen overnight or 2 day with UPS using the site Pirate ship.
Any elaborate mounts may need separate shipments and detachable wings ($75) depending on bird size and pose.
Payment- we use cash, venmo and Paypal. No more checks unless you are a repeat customer who has always done checks.
I will not accept birds that are immature. Must be 80% plumed or better. This is in efforts to better improve the specimen intake and mounts out the door. Pin feathers are a major bug attractant and I am not responsible for bug damage to mounts, as I make sure every bird is processed appropriately.
