Taxidermy

[brannan]

Was just looking on eBay for cheap capes ect. Stumbled across taxidermy.

Is it possible to buy a bird and use it for fly tying??



Cheers

Could work out very exspensive , but have done it from stuffed birds i had years ago

Is that a Roller?

[spidersplus]

Pricey way of obtaining feathers - and bear in mind that the carcass may be YEARS old - dry, brittle hackles!

Kind regards

If you want to know about taxidermy you would be best going onto the Classic Fly tying forum and asking there, they certainly know about it there.

Assuming it is a Roller - a Blue Roller at that you could consider, if serious, buying one from here............

Blue Roller Skin

Chris, that maybe a lilac-roller, but blues are seen here on ebay every so often.
