What will a taxidermist do?

Question

Lets say I bring a freshly dead bird into a taxidermist. Will he 'stuff' it and mount it, etc even with all the innards and meat still in it? Or will I need to clean it first. Thank you.

Answer 1

They are stuffed, therefore nothing of the organs are left.

Answer 2

Talk the Taxidermist first.  Most want  the whole bird.  it easier for them to clean it. that way you don't make a costly mistake

Answer 3

cleans it first. none of that stuff is in it. Infact the only real part left after the process on a bird would be the beak, feathers and feet. its eyes are replaced with glass replicas.

Answer 4

most taxidermists will want you to bring them the entire bird, but he will basically just skin the entire bird and the stretch that skin over a frame

Answer 5

A taxidermist /should/ prepare it to be stuffed and mounted himself, but not all will do it. You should talk to the taxidermist himself involved, most should prepare it.

Answer 6

Ask your taxedermist - some of them will do all of that for you.  however, if they don't, you will need to to "gut" it.  The taxidermist will do the rest.  Just ask a redneck what "gut" is.

Answer 7

They calean the bird out first.
