Flyway Taxidermy Aviary

When Jerry decided to pursue his passion as a bird taxidermist he knew that he would need to continue to have access to live birds not only so that he could continue to learn more about their anatomy, but their behavior as well.  Jerry truly believes that his membership with the Game Breeders Club and his ability to spend hours watching and observing waterfowl in their aviaries has contributed a great deal to his knowledge and success.  Flyway Taxidermy's aviary is nearing completion, and has had a number of species of birds in it already this fall.  The aviary is located 10 feet from Jerry's work counter where he can watch the birds out of the 2 seven foot Windows in front of his work area.   Some of the most significant things that Jerry has learned while observing live birds consist of diving, swimming, balancing, standing, feeding and resting.  Jerry has been able to get up close and personal to see some of the finest details of the birds including where their feather groups lay in an array of positions as well as the finest details in their eyes and eye lids.
