    Animal Mount Details

    Frozen In Flight works only on birds, including waterfowl, game and upland birds, turkeys, raptors, exotic birds, and pet birds.

    You can choose naturalistic bird mounts in flying, standing, swimming, landing, or display poses, often paired with custom habitat bases or commercial display setups.

    Robert Olson brings over 15 years of dedicated bird‑mounting experience, a Wildlife Biology degree from the University of Georgia, and training under acclaimed taxidermists Edward Harden and David Luke, with extensive competition history at state, regional, national, and world shows.

    The studio emphasizes anatomically accurate, natural poses using hand‑made, measurement‑based bird forms and competition‑grade acrylic eyes to deliver museum‑caliber realism.


    Pricing & Turnaround

    Pricing is custom‑quoted, and you are encouraged to text or call 804-38-BIRDS to discuss mounting options and get a price for your bird.

    Current turnaround is about 18 months, and due to reaching maximum capacity the studio is not accepting new specimens until December 2026.

    The studio offers detailed habitat bases and commercial or museum displays, regional pick‑up and delivery, bird taxidermy instruction when scheduling allows, and guidance on whether a bird is mountable, including review of photos and museum‑appropriate care advice.
