Thankful for this bird

First hooded! Nice gwt shoot today with a bonus. Would like to get this mounted. Any good taxi suggestions welcomed. Happy thanksgiving all.

Avian arts does awesome work

Look at Todd at Birdman studios. Whatever you do get it mounted standing or swimming. Double or triple freezer bag it.

Wish I could afford avian! Bit out of my price range. Really excited i had a chance at this bird today. Only one I've ever seen in this area.

Congrats

Bird looks great, will make a great mount

Fallen Feathers does good work.

I would pay the extra and get it done right. I made the mistake when I first got a mount done and went with price over quality. Ive got 18 birds mounted now with 5 on the way and you can really tell a difference. Double bag it and save up to get it done right. Thats a beautiful bird and they make great mounts. Trust me you will enjoy it much more when it looks like it could fly off the wall at any time. Birdworks( if you can find Matt) Avian Arts( Pat is a little more expensive or Birdman Studio. Nice bird bud. Congrats!!!

Nice hoodie

Fallen Feathers did mine. It looks great.

That is one nice bird, spend the extra cash and get it done right. Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words and the suggestions. Have 3 birds in the freezer to mount but I'm most excited about this one. Want to get it to someone soon.

hoodies are a bird that needs that extra touch by a good bird guy. For sure I would pay the extra few bucks on that one.
