Questions About Antique Bird Taxidermy
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    Birds are taxidermied through a multi-step process. First, the taxidermist removes the skin and flesh. Then, they wire the bird and mount it. Finally, they groom the bird, arranging the feathers to make the finished piece visually appealing. Shop a collection of taxidermied birds on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    What birds are illegal to taxidermy depends on where you live. In the U.S., federal law bans the practice for certain species, and most states have additional restrictions. Consult your local regulations for specific information. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of taxidermy.
