This video is covering the process of skinning a macaw which is pretty much the same for all birds. I kept receiving requests about a full skinning process, and because I have my assistant do all the skinning for me, so I had to wait till I come across a specimen that needs my own attention for skinning. My camera doesnt have the microphone to record the sound so Im doing a bit of voice over on this one so hopefully it makes it fairly clear for you. aslo the speed of the video has been reduced so you have more time to watch the full process. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the video. Please let me know if you like the voice over part or you rather have just the music for future videos. Cheers - Zábava
my sun conure died a few months ago and plan on getting him taxidermied bc he was definitely my fav bird. watching this made me cry. and what is the song? its so relaxing.
Conure will make a good mount. I have a couple more parrots to mount too.
Yeah that’s a nice song. Thanks for watching.
It's somehow morbid, fascinating and oddly relaxing all at the same time.
You are not the first time saying that.

jeffrey dahmer's hobby 😂
Hope y'all don't end up being like him
First taxidermy video I have ever watched.
I gotta say, I wasn’t expecting this at all. And I have to tell you, oh did awesome handling the parrot with care and realizing he means something to people. Really appreciate it
I’m glad you liked the video. I can see how strange it can seem for anyone who hasn’t seen it before.
I agree, it's great that he understands that this bird was an important creature in the life of their people. Whenever I work with a dead animal, I start off talking to them when I'm skinning or butchering. It's not a belief in spirit thing, necessarily, although it's not NOT that. It's a respect thing. I think, "Oh, you must have been proud of that shiny, beautiful coat!" or I'll say, "What marvelous clever paws you had!" I'm trained as a scientist, so I know the names of the muscles and bones, how all the organs work, etc. But that never lessens my awe and happiness at the elegance and beauty of how all of us vertebrate animals are put together.
Awesome video .... Very useful and informative for all who really wanna learn taxidermy art ... 🙏
Waiting for another videos from you sir ...👍🙏
Captain Hook: arrrg! Where’s me parrot!?
The parrot:
👍😄
@@ArtofTaxidermy 👍😄
O____O
Sory if I offended some peeps I honestly didn’t mean to
I just like dark humour
@@squidfresh3082
On my behalf you’re fine
I too like dark humor
And that joke is pretty good
I can't wait for the video of the rest! I haven't been able to find anything about parrot mounting with actual steps for many years! I have 3 in the freezer. I have skinned 1 out, but really need to see what may be different from mounting other birds. I saved the body to carve one from it.
Atleast it's not going to a waste, well it can be used as education stuff and science
Good job mate 👍
Very nice! I’ve heard of doing the wings like that before but have never seen it done. Makes a lot of sense to keep those secondaries in the correct position. Would make mounting much easier and more accurate to life. I’d love to see how you flesh waterfowl. I’ve been struggling a bit. I find it’s hard to know when you’ve fleshed enough or too much. Thanks for the video!!!
TheDecoyDude I don’t do that fleshing and most of my skinning myself ( I have an assistant doing it for me ) ... but there are a couple of waterfowls that I’m supposed to flesh myself. I’ll video that too. Stay tuned.
This was rly rly rly cool I want to be a taxidermist when I’m older but poor bird! 😂😂😂😭 EDIT: I was also wondering if you can make a video on how to dress the mold of the animal..
Keep watching my playlists I have shown it there.
What a beautiful bird!
Thanks.
Beautiful bird , too bad he passed away but every life has to end at one point . I hope he turns into a another bird in his next life
Next life?
@@BimmerFinatic762 if reincarnation is real of course
I hope I'm a human again in my next life but if that's not possible I'd like to be a parrot. Preferably one that lives long. Some parrots can live to be 60-80.
Rip sweet little baby
Interesting! It is truly an art.

Thanks.
The video I waited... Thanks
Finally I hear you talking :)
Thanks
2papa-family I’ll try to do more.
Another Great Video keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Real beautiful bird
Very usefull video! Awsome
Jamila Jamila glad you liked it.
Am I a bad person for watching this because I think it’s satisfying?
😁😁😁 you are not a bad person. Everything dies. And when it comes to this macaw, it’s so valuable that we also want to keep it for longer than its lifespan. And you are getting satisfaction from watching since it’s cool to watch 😎
So I don’t have a bird or animal 😅 I’m getting my foot amputated so I want my bone taxidermy as a memoir. I’m having a hard time finding someone who can do this. So I gotta learn some how lol
🤣🤣🤣OMG.
Paint it gold, you can tell people that you have golden bonesss
Did you end up getting your foot memorialized? I'm in suspense wondering😂
Really enjoyed the video! I got my hands on some parakeets and am very excited to do some taxidermy now I've practiced on a few mice
Give it a world.
@@ArtofTaxidermy I'm going to try, thank you for the encouragement!
It's excellent 👌
Thanks a lot 😊
Nice 👍
It's awesome👌👌👌
Thanks sir
rushabh yadav I’ll try to make more
@@ArtofTaxidermy yes sir plzz
Ooh I finally got to hear your voice
madelyn trepka hahaha... my camera doesn’t have a microphone and my camera is usually on a tripod doing its thing while I’m doing my thing. But it sounds like there is some interest on videos that have voice over than rather than just a music. I might try doing it more.
@@ArtofTaxidermy yes! You should! Also, can you make a video on how you do the rest of the macaw?
Do u have a part 2? to this? on how the bird looks now after taxidermy
Yes I do. But the video is not edited yet. I will upload it soon.
I know it doesn't work that way but when I saw all that meat I really thought "oh that's some good food right there"
Great video btw!!! Wish I could see the final piece!
Some of these birds meat on different cases can be used.
Hi.Gretings from Poland im new in Taxydermy os mammals and bird i usualy prepare insects.
What is the white powder? That u use to clean skin?
Insect- 4-YOU borax
Another great video Ben! Excellent job on the voice over! Do you wash and dry parrot style birds any different than say the waterfowl style birds?
Barry Buras not really I wash them the same way. I might just be a little more careful if the bird is moulting like this one. Otherwise everything is the same.
@@ArtofTaxidermy Thanks
Could you happen to make a video on a tutorial of doing diff birds? Also i need help or infowhat i should do if i mess up.
I have many bird tutorial videos uplaoded search through my channel.
@@ArtofTaxidermy okay thank you
nice video
glad you liked it
That was very interesting. I see it is very tedious especially around the head.
Yes and for sure rewarding.
What are the best fleshing tools for kestrels and small birds of prey? The tool with the fine jig saw blade and the hacksaw?
pretty much.. yes I make most of my own fleshing tools out of old hack saw blade and other blades.
What do you do with the bird's body when you're done? do you give the body and skull back to the owner of the bird?
unless they want them back, but they get frozen and then disposed according to the city bylaws. but Im sure they end up rotting away in the landfil.
@@ArtofTaxidermy Awe, that's a shame. A beautiful creatures like that should be preserved, but laws and procedures are what they are. Thanks for the information ✨
That was a great video however Where is the stuffing video 😢 I'd like to see the end result
Monzer Qubbaj it’s coming... I don’t mount the birds right after skinning and also it’s a very time consuming thing to prepare the videos. The mounting video will be uploaded soon enough.
Is injecting soapy water only advisable for larger birds or would you use the process for say a goldfinch size bird?
Any dehydrated bird can benefit from it. Even small birds.
@@ArtofTaxidermy Excellent, thanks very much
Can you leave skull in and use drying process?
Yes you can , lots of people do it with the real skull.
Good morning, i' a taxidermist from portugal, near spain. I do mainly trophy shoulders. Used to make some birds 20 years ago. I' m relearning to do them now. Your good work. Thanks for teaching us. Dont you use borax on skining? Sorry for my english, my language is portuguese. Thanks again.
Mário Ferreira your English is very good anyway. Yes I do use borax. You might see me using it on the skin during the video.
Hello, in the meantime, congratulations for the job. I wanted to ask you, for the head and the beak, then, how do you do? Do you use polyurethane with the real beak or all synthetic?
Thanks. The whole head is syntheti
@@ArtofTaxidermy thank you!
You mentioned in the video that you will flesh out the feet from the outside? Do you remove the toe bones and wire them? How do you approach feet on larger birds such as eagles?
No we don’t remove the toes. We just mount the bird with its toes like that and then inject the feet with chemicals to preserve and dry them properly.
@@ArtofTaxidermy thank you so much! I really appreciate it
I feel bad for the bird RIP bird
If I required jaws for wild mammals , eyes for fish birds and mammals and other required taxidermy related material then is it possible to order from you sir ..??
Dhaval Kansara I can try helping you. Where are you from ?
@@ArtofTaxidermy I am from India sir
Dhaval Kansara .. can’t you buy your supplies straight from the suppliers in North America?
@@ArtofTaxidermy sir if possible please provide me contact details of suppliers if any you can share on CZcams or you can mail me on my mail id
dhaval.snakelover1988@gmail.com
@@ArtofTaxidermy by the way where are you from sir ..??
every birdlovers brains go wild...
Can i do it with a sparow?
Sure.
too bad he passed away....... 😥😥 i love birds
Everything will pass eventually.
Is this supposed to be for macaw owners who's macaw has died or for the thrill of it?
either or...when a beautiful bird passes , its best to preserve it rather than wasting it.
Brother, is there a preservative that keeps the skin so that it does not dry out, or is there not?
I’m afraid not. You can’t stop it from drying.
@@ArtofTaxidermy Thank you, my teacher
Every so often I see you put a white powder on the meat, why is that?
borax... for a better grip.
This is like skinning humans. I did not expect that, even though I should have the tissues are the same after all.
sorry I have no experience skinning humans yet
❤❤❤👍
Thanks.
This is my first time seeing this. Are they using dead animals? Or they are hunting and killing them to make taxidermy?
Sorry I'm new to this kind of things I just want to know
lots of people wonder about that. These are dead birds.. this Macaw died after 20 years living in cage.
Also want to know if I have old taxidermy of sulphurcrest parrot white feathers but it's too old and dusty so
Is it possible to clean that trophy with any chemical or some soap ...??
Dhaval Kansara unfortunately not that the know. When white feathers are dirty they can be washed but not on a taxidermy mount. That’s why I recommend every white coloured bird mount need to be preserved under glass case.
@@ArtofTaxidermy generally I do that but 1 trophy is dirty that was so old my 1st taxidermy
I assume you are doing this for a living? out of curiosity: where / how do you dispose all the meat / bones?
Landfill
I'm Arab, l do not understand English.can you explain to me in the comments what is the method and what are the materials?
Hi Arab friend. You can join the channel membership.. and you can see all the videos in real speed instruction. Then you can turn on the CZcams translator.
@@ArtofTaxidermy thanks 😊❤
im so wired bc i want to be a vet and try this
If you want to be a vet you’d better become a good one so your birds don’t end up dead 😄
Do people do this with dead pets to remember them and have them in their hearts? Like if they miss them they can look at them any time? If so, that’s just... sorta sad to be honest.
some people do. most people dont. But they can give the dead Bird to be preserved and be enjoyed by others..but for sure its better than wasting them under the ground.
Everything living shall one die. Everything living also has its time to live and time to die. The human body expires and it's gone. All living things transform into energy from the existence of a body to the invisible energy of the nonexistent spiritual beginning. While you can enjoy your life... While you can make good memories. Because one day it's all over.
If I had a pet brid that died i wouldn't do this i would have someone else do it
its not recommended to do it by yourself anyway.
I didn't feel right to do this with a dead loved ones just for the sake of the owner.
Isn't it right to just give it a proper burial?
Well it’s up to people to waste the beauty or preserve it.
I wonder what happened to the meat
discarded
@@ArtofTaxidermy ohh ok
This feels like an asmr video, trying to help us fall asleep. Lol
seriously? I have been told I should start making those videos LOL
Your videos are already ASMR 😀 all you have to do is add the ASMR word on the titla. haha Lol. But seriously tho, your videos are super satisfying to watch.
Thanks. 😁
Oh shit am I the only one that was kind of hoping he was going to wake up and fly away
I bet the first person to learn that a parrot could talk probably lost their mind.
As a beginner, I found this video very educational. I always wonder how to skin the head properly.
The powder you sprinkle on the skin/ flesh, is that borax powder?
Agus Jati yes it is borax.
Is he alive or?
Passed away due to a decease.
I’m kinda disgusted, but I’m able to handle it.
Hang in there. You will be ok 😄
Hw died
Don’t know. Probably sickness.
How dare u do this do an animal it’s a living thing poor thing
hahahahaha.. obviously you are cluless
Correction, it WAS a living thing, it was dead before he started lol
Okay *Karen*
Am I the only one who finds it uncomfortable, weird and disrespectful to do this to a dead animal? I feel like it's kind of a selfish thing to want to keep their physical bodies for personal/aesthetic purposes. Imagine if people taxidermized humans 😐
Well... I’m sure you are not alone and the nice thing is that we have lots of options and choices about what we do .... if you find it selfish then I guess you’d better not practice this, but my view on this is to respect the beauty that once was alive and now we preserve it to enjoy it even longer than before instead of letting it go to waste. This bird passed away after a couple of decades and we had two options burry it and let it decompose and gets wasted or preserve it and cherish its beauty for years to come and in some cases use it as an educational item, I choose the second option all the time.
Human taxidermy as been done!
Thanks for your reply. Is there any chance you could possibly send a picture of your fleshing tools.and the basic tools for bird taxidermy so I could make my own . and purchase what’s needed. It would be very much appreciated, I’m just starting out .keep it simple without compromising on quality although I’ve got a good idea of the tools you have got on the bench with the Macaw . I could give you my email address?thanks John
Hi John.
I will take a bunch of photos and turn them into slideshow and post it here for everyone to see.
