Bear's Birds Taxidermy positions itself as an award‑winning, top‑quality bird taxidermy studio that prioritizes craftsmanship over volume.

Melissa started Bear's Birds Taxidermy in 2018 and has grown it from mounting her own trophies into a full-time studio centered on unique, top-quality bird work.
She describes taxidermy as a way to channel a lifelong passion for the outdoors into highly realistic, one-of-a-kind mounts and takes extreme pride in the detail and effort put into each bird.
The studio posts fixed prices for bird and euro mounts—for example, upland birds and ducks at $450, geese from $850 to $1,100, swan at $2,500, turkey full/half/flying at $1,100, euro skulls at $175, and habitat or bases starting at $150—with a 50% deposit required, 6% sales tax on all orders, and the balance due at pickup.
Typical completion time is 30–45 days and overall turnaround is currently under 12 months, depending on how many birds are already in the freezer.
They offer custom habitat bases and scenes, including one-of-a-kind display pieces and framed bird art, allowing creative, personalized presentations of your trophies.
Reviews, though limited in number, strongly praise the artistry, creativity, and realism of the bird mounts, calling the work extraordinary and truly one-of-a-kind.
Customers highlight very positive experiences, saying you will not be disappointed bringing birds here and noting the taxidermist has a strong eye for this work.
One reviewer also mentions that their mount was finished faster than expected, but overall feedback on timing and reliability is based on a small sample so far.
