Artist's Comments

And to think that most people think our Magpie is just a "plain" black and white bird...

This piece feature on the Great Irish Game fair as a display item to show people that taxidermy doesn't always have to be ugly, stiff or creepy.

During this fair I also held demonstrations. On Saturday I worked on a red-leg partridge, and on Sunday I worked on a wee female Kestrel.

~To whom it may concern, (please read before accusing me of anything!)
The animal used in this project died a natural cause. None of the animals I work on are killed for the purpose of taxidermy alone and most are found along side the road or come from bird/animal breeders in the area.
