Westbroek Taxidermy

The studio works exclusively on birds and waterfowl, including small and large game birds, waterfowl, geese, swans, turkeys, and other avian species.

You can choose from full-body bird mounts in flying or standing poses with standard wall or table presentations, as well as custom artistic bases and detailed habitat scenes.

Westbroek Taxidermy pairs formal art training, including a bachelor’s degree in Composite Art Teaching, with years of competition experience at state, national, and world taxidermy shows from at least 2018–2024.

Customers and competition results alike highlight extremely detailed, realistic work with meticulous feather placement and artistic habitats that often exceed expectations.

Pricing is clearly listed for custom bird taxidermy, with example rates such as around $700–$920 for many ducks and small game birds, $1,100–$1,500 for most geese, and $2,200–$2,600 for larger birds like turkeys and swans, while custom bases and habitats cost extra based on design.

Turnaround time is described in reviews as generally good to quick, with some noting that mounts can take a bit longer but that the finished work is well worth the wait.

They offer custom habitat bases and artistic competition-quality displays, and they run Avian Art Academy online courses for those who want to learn advanced bird taxidermy.
