Services and Liability
At Twin Rivers Bird Taxidermy, we provide Services for all species of ducks and geese and most upland game.
There are a couple of bird species that we do not provide taxidermy services for.
We do not take Turkeys but with the exception of Yucatan Ocellated Turkeys.
No quail, dove or finches. No Sage grouse or woodcock
For upland game we take all but dove, woodcock, sage grouse and quail
No services are available for turkeys except tail panels
Please refrain from mounting pheasants taken earlier than Thanksgiving or try to provide a spare bird. They plume out rather late and can be deceiving. Feather loss is enormous on early season upland
Liability Terms
First off, no refunds. All commissions are final.
I am not liable for any damages to birds during or after the taxidermy process. This includes slippage, pinfeathers, late shipment arrival rot/poor insulation of shipped birds, major external feather damages or oil spots from freezer burn. This is mostly based on specimen care BEFORE a bird comes to my studio. Every bird is handled with utmost care.
I am not liable for shipping damages. I pack the birds diligently with the proper materials to keep the bird from moving. All damages must be disputed with the carrier, not me.
I am not liable for bug damage such as carpet moths, which eat feathers and hair off mounts. It is your responsibility to take care of your mounts or they will not have longevity. You need to dust and bug fog mounts 3 times a year for general upkeep.
I am not liable for pet damage or damage done by any other person. Keep mounts in a safe place, they are more fragile than glass in many instances.
