You mean Val's wing, Master Wrench? Nope, no photoshoppin' there, Val's in pretty good feather right now, and besides which I'm not smart enough to photoshop something that well!

The resin cow skull? I think it’s pretty, but I’m pretty biased since I am into vulture culture and have taxidermy fox tails on my wall lol

Also, yes I have Christmas lights still up, I am lazy

Not lazy at all! We've been told to conserve energy to save the planet from global warming, right? You're just conserving your personal energy!
What the heck is "vulture culture"? Eating roadkill like vultures do? Do you really have dead animal tails hanging on your wall? Real ones? Don't you have any feelings for the poor foxes that the tails were once attached to?

Good point haha besides, my room looks naked without them since they’ve been up since November haha

Vulture culture is basically the collection of animal pelts, bones, specimens, taxidermies, etc. from animals that have passed naturally or have been roadkill. however hunting and collecting those remains is not vulture culture, since that’s not what it’s about. Usually it is from roadkill or animals that have passed away naturally.

9/10 of my tails are from roadkill or natural causes, my 10th tail is artificial so it doesn’t need the same care that my other 9 do. I do not support hunting for sport, therefore I do not buy from those who have hunted them as I do not feel like it’s right at all.

Wow! Very nice tails! Are they professionally preserved or did you do it yourself?
We don't hunt at all either. Its not a fair fight because the animals are unarmed.

I think hunting for population control is healthy.
My dad has hunted white tail deer for food his whole life and, in states where their populations aren’t controlled, the wasting disease runs rampant.
Not for all species of course, but many need control.

Hunting for food is okay. I eat meat and I also eat game. I just don't like killing animals strictly for fun.

My all time fave pic of Lilly asleep - just look at those sweet little feetsies!!

Thank you! They are professionally done and I provide the proper care for them to keep them in good shape! Brushing, keeping them far from water, making sure my room isn’t too humid, making sure they don’t collect dust, keeping the chains away from water, etc.

I a hundred percent agree. Although, I think hunting for food is okay, as long as it’s done as humanely as possible. I despise hunting for sport though. I find that to be just cruel and unnecessary. Killing an animal for being beautiful? I find it to be just messed up.

Or taking out invasive species.

But I do agree with you here! population control can be as good as it can be bad.

I’m new to the party. Kokkie has just begun feeling safe enough to sleep near us. Love her so. Her fave spot on the chair next to me hence many pics from this angle.

You know a bird is happy, relaxed and comfortable in his new home with his new people when he can snooze so close to you!
