One of university tasks was to create your own ex-libris. Of course I chose a taxidermy theme. It inspired me a bit to create small series of pictures dedicated to my job and passion.

Here I tried to show two main ways of doing taxidermy: creating bone specimens and animal mounts.

Also I framed text into a museum label

Victorian "dead bird" Christmas cards were a very real thing, and I've done my part to document them. So here I am offering to (insufficiently) answer all your questions about this odd tradition and why it seemed to be so common that it didn't even need commenting upon.

Pike got to experience some bird dog activities (dead birds) and was Not Impressed.

Photo below the cut includes a frozen dead bird.

She did one little disgusting retrieve and the emphasis was on Disgusting. She was not thrilled to put it in her mouth but the alternative (abandoning it in the field) was also not thrilling.

Epic Bird Skulls

My research teacher who works in the Field Museum brought in some cool bird skulls for us to sketch in class. It seems like only me and two other people were really into them though. The skulls are owl, parrot, stork, and heron.
