Cats killed this starling in my kitchen this morning so I stuffed it. Cool looking bird even as a youngling.

Here's Midnight. She's very small for a 1 year old but very athletic! Fun fact: she spent an hour trying to get out of my toilet when she was only a few months old because someone left the lid up. 🫣

Like most hedgehogs, this one was in a road accident. One of my specialities, at Silent Souls Taxidermy I can sew that cute little hedge butt back together no problem. ❤️ The hogs name is Amy. 😁

Lovely evening in the studio. Just got my meds, ready do some work! This magpie I did in 2018 (I think) always puts me in a good mood. I like the way it has charisma.

One thing I've learned doing taxidermy, is that the customer doesn't know what you can do. You need to tell them! This is where the creativity happens. Photo: Taxidermied American Mink undergoing finish work.

We look after everyone here at Silent Souls Taxidermy. This is Alibo, a 90 year old antique alligator who's in for a little restoration before being passed onto a younger taxidermy enthusiast. The first of many!

Progress so far on my spring rook climbing birch #taxidermy project. I'm so happy with how it's turning out. Still finish work on the bird to do as well as more groundwork and a nice base.

Greetings Ireland! I'm on with a very damaged taxidermy specimen today so anything could happen 🤞 Won't show anything gorey but I just wanted to show you the manikin I'll be using. This is what will go inside the skin. Taxidermists recreate the animal's body. Here I am using the real skull.
