Default Can anyone suggest a good bird taxidermy place in Edmonton?

Got me a nice blue goose this morning and would love to get it mounted. Thanks for the info!

100% worth the drive to Lethbridge to Art of Taxidermy (Ben). He is Alberta's best, by far.

Give Solitude Taxidermy in Spruce grove a call. Darren does the 4 legged critters, his wife Carolyn does the birds. She has done some great stuff.

Check out the webpage too.

Congrats on the blue. Being on the western edge of the snow flyway I never get tired of seeing blues. Post pics of the mount

Thanks all. I will have a look at the "Bird Lady's" work and get in touch with them. It was my first time trying to decoy snows. Much different then Canada's for sure. Still was a blast and what a morning. The weather was great. Not a cloud in the sky... only birds!

Art of taxidermy can’t be beat for birds.

Congrats on your blue. 1-100 in Alberta and 3 out of 10 in sask. Totally different flyway. Very cool. Love eagle heads

I would send it to Ben. Freeze and ship it in a cooler. Check out his YouTube videos.
