Thank you sir. Almost didn’t make the deadline. Turns out that 3 of my birds where rotton. A client had given them to me frozen. They flew into his window and broke their necks without a scratch on them. But they had been dead longer than he thought. When I went to skin them, all the feathers slipped off. I had a spare, but I needed 2 more to finish the piece. I started calling guys all over from out west trying to get replacements. Luckily, Stephan Savidies had some for me.They were still wet when I shipped them out! When you send anything on a truck through the Mojave desert, wet or dry, there is cosiderable shrinkage! Lets just say, they’re not competition quality birds. :biggergrin:
