I Stuffed a Crow & I Like It

A few weeks ago I was invited to stuff a crow with super lovely, super-stuffer Emma, of Thorpe Lodge Taxidermy. I had a marvellous day and learnt a great deal. I came home with my mount, Sebastien Crow, and waited for the day I’d be able to remove his pins (although I did rather like his Hell Raiser look!)

I do love him! He smells a little bit strange, and looks a little bit tatty, but I am very pleased with him none the less.

He sits atop an old tea tin and guards the doorway. Good work Sebastien Crow! I’m definitely going back to stuff him a friend.
