Glass Display cases

Birds are by the nature of their feathers, often delicate and potentially easily damaged. This is especially true of small birds, some birds of prey and owls. The only exceptions to this are some of the larger game birds and wildfowl such as pheasants and ducks which have more robust plumage and will stand up to regular light dusting.

I therefore recommend that, if circumstances allow for it, most birds should be set in a glass display case. A well set up bird mount in a display case (If kept out of direct sunlight and high humidity) should last virtually indefinitely. Also the habitat setting into which the bird is placed can be far more natural in appearance than is possible with an uncased mount.

Cases can be free standing or wall mounted and, in my view, the extra cost is well worth the investment especially if the subject is a rarer species or a bird which, though common is not often come across like a Tawny owl, kestrel or perhaps a small bird like a Robin.

If you have a bird that you may like to have mounted in a case or otherwise then please contact me and I will be happy to discuss your requirements and provide you with a quotation for having it set up.
