Plate Birds
Does anyone know of a good technique to skeletonize a bird without damaging the skeleton.?
I have a bird that i found (a butcher bird) and i want to try and preserve the skeleton. I also found a turtle the size of a dinner plate that i wish to skeletonize. Does anyone have any ideas apart from just letting ants eat the flesh? Thanks!!!
Can't really beat carrion beetles and dermestid beetles, there's a reason they use them in museums. But you should know that shrikes (aka, butcher birds) are protected under federal law, and having one/ any part (yes even the feathers) of one is a crime, severe fines and even jail time are a possibility if you are caught.
