Taxidermy Herring Gull chicks.

I have decided to showcase more and more of my work over the coming months. Why, simple because it is of a standard which is acceptible and I happen to like posting up my own work. Pity if you do not like it, get your own website or better still rip this one off, like so many other pretend taxidermists.!!!!.
Here we examine the process that the Victorian taxidermist and natural history collectors routinely used, which was to take either chicks and eggs from the wild and also shoot the adult birds solely for the purposes of taxidermy. This was undertaken on an almost industrial scale throughout the UK. Prior to the advent of photography and the "moving image", there was very limited options by which to undertake this study. It was also completely legal to do this also and it was not until the lobbying and creation of the RSPB (direct result of the plume trade in the UK, circa 1860.) did attitudes slowly change.

Another beautiful piece of modern taxidermy. Herring Gull chicks, replica egg in watercolour marsh scene. These cases are made without comprimise and are not just birds on sticks. The chick at the back adjacent to the egg is posed as if asleep.

Modern case of Herring Gull chicks, nest and egg. This case was created by me. Another superb piece of modern taxidermy. Taxidermy is easy, you just need the skill required. Some have it many do not. The rocks are produced by Mr R Ellis.
