    The title of this video is quite misleading. The curator here is creating what's called a study skin, not a taxidermied mount. Taxidermy properly involves mounting the bird in a lifelike position, using glass eyes, and otherwise creating a bird posed as in life, and looking alive. A study skin, by contrast, involves removing all the soft tissues and visera, and stuffing the bird's body with cotton batting, etc., as he demonstrates in the video.

    I feel that taxidermy and study skins are different things (although the same by definition).
    Study skins want to be preserved for long periods of time.
    Taxidermy is an art where you want to animal as it did in life.
    Do you see the difference?

    Taxidermy is so cool. It allows us to see that animal as if it were alive. I really like biology, and for some reason I love getting to see animals and how they eat, live, etc.

    Can somebody tell me.. Taking the guts out of a bird and sewing it back up is enough to preserve it? How does that work?!
    Won't the brain and other parts make the entire thing stinky and rotten?

    Night didn't even wear gloves.

      XxZombie_BunnyxX -w- since their skin is so thin, it's easier to make mistakes when wearing gloves. I used to wear them but don't anymore a once it makes the process easier. Beginners should. But once you learn the ropes it isn't needed. Especially on birds that aren't prone to carrying diseases and if you wash your hands afterwards.

    How cool, the AMNH or Field Museum never showed videos about the taxidermy process on birds.

    What happens to all the blood? I see a lot of these videos, but never any blood. Do you drain them first?

    • @eptile
      @eptile 6 лет назад +20

      JulieGriffin you don't have to drain them at all. They are usually frozen and defrosted again. But even fresh, after death blood usually goes to the organs. You won't see much if you cut correctly above muscle.

      Also, blood thickens up when an animal (or human) dies. That's also the reason why there isn't much blood when you do an autopsy

      Kelly-sophie Mekel from hearing his horrible accent in English, I guess so. It's irritating the hell out of me, and I'm Dutch myself.

    This didn't show any tanning treatment for preserving the skin. I'd call this a very brisk overview

    Isn’t this more of study skin rather than true taxidermy though?

    • @omreee686
      @omreee686 6 лет назад +3

      There are two kinds of taxidermy. The one I'm guessing you're more familiar with is display taxidermy, which includes hunting trophies and what you usually see in museum display cases. The one here is specimen taxidermy, which is supposed to stay in a drawer so scientists can look at it.

      or maybe you need to stop being a little bitch and putting your own superficial insecurities onto others
      his eyebrows are fine. and whether you are female or male, it is your own personal choice if you want to shave your body hair or not.
      this dude is educated, an eloquent speaker, has a career he's passionate about, married, and definitely a kinder heart than yours.
      he's been fine the 40-50 something years he's lived so far, pretty sure he cant last the latter half of his life without plucking his them like a sissy 21st century tween.
