William ,I am pleased you are going to have that old Bird mounted ! Don't do as I did ,I had a Big Long Tailed Rooster mounted once and made a lamp out of an old three rail Grayed up Fence Post ,sawed the post in half ran a piece of copper pipe through it glued it back together then mounted it on a three foot by three foot pedestal ,I had the Taxidermost moss up the base we put a small piece of rusty Barbed wire fencing on it ,I bought a beautiful Lamp shade " EXPENSIVE " and topped it all off with an acorn with a threaded insert to hold the shade on . THEN we mounted that Gorgeous Pheasant to the base ,MAN what a sight to behold !! WELL ,Maggie thought so too and every time she passed by it in my Game Room it about drove her crazy ,WELL ,we went away for the evening and when we got home ,Maggie was no where to be found ,I went into the Game Room and there was the old Rooster with all of his " FINERY ripped off of him with the exception of one tail feather ! WE finally found Maggie under my Daughters Bed with a sheepish grin on her face . I knew she knew better but she just couldn't seem to help herself ! Not much to do at that point ,soooooo we just drug her out from under the bed ,I forgave her for being so bad ,she forgave me for being so stupid and life went on !!!
