Rooster skull with its comb. The skull was beetle cleaned, degreased, and whitened with peroxide. The sclerotic rings were glued in place. The comb was formalin fixed and dried, then glued in place. A super cool specimen done for a good friend ❤️

Rooster skull and cactus flowers
various disarticulated photos I took before i got to gluing! in order: woodcock, jay, rooster, and rook 😊
[[i live in the UK. all birds i own are legal to own. all have been taken lawfully or were found after natural death.]]
Finally! I think c.hickens are the worst to clean in my opinion so far. They have such thick skin! I let this guy macerate for a few days, he still has his beak sheaths too. He’s going to be one of the skulls that I’ll be doing up and selling.
Right now he’s drying before I take off any left over flesh or I attempt and gluing. I’ve learned from that one 😬
Skulls and succulents get along
So, this morning I finally articulated that rooster skull that I experience some staining with an old beet
One of the pterygoids was missing but it doesn't really matter
It's also the first time I've articulated a bird skull with so many loose parts.
Anyway, here is the
I have some neck vertebrae, so I planned to put a copper wire inside and articulate these vertebrae and then put it on a small wooden slice as if it were a small trophy, I think it will look pretty good haha
I still have three other skulls that I could articulate and do something nice with, maybe even sell a couple of them in the future
Look at this, it's an experiment i just ended (I just need to glue all the pieces of the skull in place)
It is a skull of a domestic rooster that I stain using an old beet that had been born and raised in my yard a few months ago
At the beginning of the experiment the skull was white
