I’ve been working non stop for the past few months, so I’m currently away on a much needed little break!
Any emails and enquiries made between these dates will also be replied to as soon as I am able to upon my return.
Taxidermy Co. is solely managed by myself,
sorry for any inconvenience!

This week, I had a rummage through the freezer and found this little beauty!
A female captive bred cockatiel that died of natural causes.
British Wildlife will always be my number one passion, but I do enjoy working with something a bit more exotic once in a while.
It always amazes me in the washing and drying process how be-draggled they look. I always think
“there’s no way that this is going to resemble a bird again”
but somehow, it always does! Gives you an idea of the resilience of these creatures.
I have placed her on a simple handmade turned wood perch.
She will be available to purchase as soon as she has dried and set, please get in touch to make reservations.

This month, I have a little feature in British Vogue magazine this month (October edition), which is SUPER exciting!
I was contacted by British Vogue asking if I wanted a feature in their ‘Vogue’s Show Home’ section as they thought I’d bring something a little different to the feature.
I agreed and I am so happy with how it’s turned out. I will be featuring as part of a 3 month campaign so the advert will run right up until the December issue.
I’m allowed to change the image each time too, but I thought I’d start with my ‘show stopper’ piece, my magnificent black-shouldered peacock who stands at 6ft tall!
The write up reads:

Only onwards and upwards from here!
I have recently completed my first ever Mandarin Duck commission (first duck of any kind actually!).
My client stumbled across him deceased and wanted to restore his beauty forever and wanted him posed on an ancient oak branch he found.
A bespoke glass case was also made for this taxidermy project, courtesy of Immortal cases & displays who did an excellent job of catering to the requirements.
Because of the addition of the artificial water habitat base, I needed a wooden ‘tray’ style of base to contain it, which is what was made.
I added some ripples to the resin water which I think helps bring this piece to life.
This project produced a lot of ‘firsts’ for me, but I am super happy with how this project turned out!
