Re: Newbe from Jersey shore Salty,
Welcome!
How about from a taxidermy supplier? There are probably lots of them out there but the only one I know, in a round about way, is VanDykes. They have a furniture restorers catalog that's wonderful, and I noticed in it that they also have a taxidermy catalog, never looked at one though. Their restorers catalog is called VanDyke's Restorer.
Good luck You'll get lots of ideas on here, because there are a lot of great bird carvers on here...look at Hi_Ho's heron, for instance!
