I agree, it's great that he understands that this bird was an important creature in the life of their people. Whenever I work with a dead animal, I start off talking to them when I'm skinning or butchering. It's not a belief in spirit thing, necessarily, although it's not NOT that. It's a respect thing. I think, "Oh, you must have been proud of that shiny, beautiful coat!" or I'll say, "What marvelous clever paws you had!" I'm trained as a scientist, so I know the names of the muscles and bones, how all the organs work, etc. But that never lessens my awe and happiness at the elegance and beauty of how all of us vertebrate animals are put together.

I can't wait for the video of the rest! I haven't been able to find anything about parrot mounting with actual steps for many years! I have 3 in the freezer. I have skinned 1 out, but really need to see what may be different from mounting other birds. I saved the body to carve one from it.

Beautiful bird , too bad he passed away but every life has to end at one point . I hope he turns into a another bird in his next life

Awesome video .... Very useful and informative for all who really wanna learn taxidermy art ... 🙏 Waiting for another videos from you sir ...👍🙏

Very nice! I’ve heard of doing the wings like that before but have never seen it done. Makes a lot of sense to keep those secondaries in the correct position. Would make mounting much easier and more accurate to life. I’d love to see how you flesh waterfowl. I’ve been struggling a bit. I find it’s hard to know when you’ve fleshed enough or too much.

Everything living shall one die. Everything living also has its time to live and time to die. The human body expires and it's gone.

This bird passed away after a couple of decades and we had two options burry it and let it decompose and gets wasted or preserve it and cherish its beauty for years to come and in some cases use it as an educational item, I choose the second option all the time.
