<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN">One possibility for the birds could be to reduce them down to individual feathers and then add photographs to Featherbase, see

into traditional round skins. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hello everyone, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Last week we received some items of taxidermized birds and mammals in a very bad condition. Not only they are bad preserved, with dust and feather/hair fallen, also they have no data about origin, date or taxidermist.
There are not interesting species, all are common except five or six that could be considered as rare.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This type of donations is frequent because most people are received now properties of their families that traditionally have these kinds of pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I would ask you if anyone have experienced with these sorts of exx. and try to reuse in other terms. I want to say if they take them, extract the skull, and discard the rest or something like these. Ideas and experiences
are welcome. Evidently, invest time to recover these is not considered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES-TRAD">Thanks a lot<o:p></o:p></span></p>
