I called the taxidermist back to get a ballpark price. She had to check with the "bird specialist" that does all the birds for her.
Apparently, birds aren't "emptied out" and stuffed, they're freeze-dried and left internally intact. Just a tidbit of useless info for your next round of Jeopardy!
Anywho.....also, because they are an endangered species, I can't do anything at all with mine. They'll only mount them for schools or non-profits (like a museum I guess) with a lot of paperwork. Darn it. I didn't kill it, and we care about them...that should be worth something.
And I am definitely a non-profit.

Services will be tomorrow night, just before sundown.

I admit that I told Jay that I would have been a little worried about a freeze-dried bird in our heat, though. EWWWW.

Sorry to hear you won't have Speedy sitting around. Just think you had already started the freeze drying process.
Can you call one of the museums around and see if they could use him?

Sorry can't make the services, but we will be with you in spirit. About what time is sundown so we can have a moment of silence.

Thanks to a little helpful advice from a friend, we'll be holding off on the services until I can talk to our neighbor who is retired from Game & Fish. We might be able to do something afterall.

I thought about having Jared ask the school if they wanted him, but with all the budget cuts, I doubt they have the money to take care of him.

My other idea is to go to the Heard Musuem North and see if they already have one. If not, and they're interested, I'll let them have him, as long as I get a donation plaque. Selfish, huh? Oh well, I love that little guy.


YAY! A U-TOP with Jill () and Speedy!!!

How are the wedding plans going??

 

[jilljill]

Just thought I'd jump in here and say HI so Stacey doesn't think she's talking to herself ..... although that wouldn't be anything new.

 

[jilljill]

Garry I'll ask you this silly question since Stacey asked it to me the other day....have y'all had any snow yet this month? She asked me on a day when it was 62 degrees here and figured since Omaha had snow so did we.

Nope...not mean to you, just asking him the same question since he's much closer to Omaha than we are.

Isn't that the stuff Wyatt Earp's wife was hooked on? Hard to imagine it's still around today.

Why would you know that useless fact?
