Pricing & Turnaround
The studio publishes a detailed bird price list, with example rates such as around $600–$700 for many upland birds and puddle ducks, higher rates for specialty birds and geese, and a required non-refundable 50% deposit within 30 days of the bird’s arrival.
Turnaround time varies by season, and they ask you to call the studio for current estimates.
All standing mounts include an artificial rock or driftwood base, all flying mounts include a ghost hanger or driftwood, and you can order custom dioramas, habitat scenes, and bases for an additional, quoted-per-order cost.
