Animal Mount Details
Uplanders Bird Taxidermy specializes in upland birds, waterfowl, turkeys, domestic birds, and a range of reptiles and exotics.
You can choose from full‑body bird mounts in standing, flying, and strutting poses, turkey shoulder mounts and panels, and reptile work including snake rugs and skin mounts, with optional bases and habitat scenes.
Jeremy emphasizes a deep passion and extensive knowledge of birds and reptiles and continually works to improve his craft, which he believes shows in his taxidermy work.
Reviews consistently describe his mounts as outstanding, lifelike, and highly detailed, with natural poses and backgrounds that stand out in the region.
Pricing & Turnaround
The studio posts detailed pricing for bird and reptile work—for example, pheasants generally run around the high $200s to low $300s depending on pose, ducks around the high $200s to low $300s, turkeys in the upper hundreds plus any base charges, and snakes priced per inch—while encouraging you to contact them for exotics, certain reptiles, and premium bases or habitat.
Typical turnaround is described as about 10–12 months depending on workload, with a stated goal of moving back toward 8–10 months once Jeremy retires from the fire department and shifts to full‑time taxidermy in early 2026.
Most prices include placement on a basic branch, fence post, or driftwood, and you can upgrade to premium bases and custom habitat work, order tanned snake rugs, or arrange limited shipping with handling for completed birds.
What Customers Say
Customers say the quality is top‑notch, often calling the birds unmatched in the area and praising their realism, natural poses, and the way feather damage is hidden or repaired.
They consistently highlight fair, reasonable pricing and describe Jeremy as very personable, easy to work with, honest about potential issues, and highly knowledgeable about birds and reptiles.
Reviews note many repeat clients, reliable handling of shipped birds, and strong overall trust in the studio, though they do not consistently mention specific turnaround times.
