Of Fur and Feather Taxidermy

The studio primarily works on birds, small game, select big game, and pets, with additional focus on skull, bone, and skeletal preservation.

Birds are typically mounted on decorative driftwood with optional habitat, and coyote/bobcat mounts can be created as shoulder or full-body pieces with custom bases and habitat.

Hayley has been studying taxidermy since 2016, is largely self-taught, and describes animal preservation as her true passion.

Her work is known for high realism and attention to detail, with naturalistic poses and mounts that often exceed customer expectations.

Pricing is clearly structured by service and size, with example rates like $450 for many bird mounts, $950–$1,250 for shoulder coyote or bobcat, $2,000–$3,000 for lifesize pieces, tiered pet bone-processing and articulation fees, and full-body pet taxidermy starting at $3,000, plus required deposits and a preference for cash.

Most services currently have estimated turnarounds of about 10–18 months depending on the work, with birds and game often around 10–12 months and bone processing, articulations, and many pet memorials generally quoted at 12–18 months, and the studio does not provide interim progress updates.

Additional offerings include pet bone processing and articulations, dermestid beetle skull cleaning, soft tanning, paw, tail, fur and heart preservation, coordinated individual or communal cremation with optional paw and nose prints, and finished memorial pieces and art items for sale.
