Nice quackers! I haven't taken a bird to the taxi yet, but you should for sure do it! Be sure to show us the finish product  :tup:

There isn't a wet side taxi I trust. I take everything to Leon Mathews of Avian Artristry in Kennewick. He has done a pile of birds for me and my buddies.

Price for a flushing mount?

Thanks

Seth Lane of Lane Wildlife Artistry out of Finley, WA.  He's done a bunch of my birds - he's the best around IMO.

Seth is getting better but has a ways to go to catch up with Leon.

Casper Taxidermy in Walla Walla.  Look him up.  He has done about 12-15 birds for me, and I've never been disappointed.  Will not go elsewhere.
