How do you display beards and spurs? I have a collection that needs a better home than sitting in a pile like they are now.

I should add, we have all of the fans we need. We also have dad’s full body of the white turkey coming to the new cabin when it’s finished.
I’m looking for just beards and spurs.

I just glue the beards into the empty shell I shot it with. The ones I shoot with a bow get the same treatment with random empties. Everything gets threaded into a necklace thing. My youngest wanted "Flipping The Bird" mount with his latest bird.   |

Do you have to do anything to mount the feet? There isn’t much inside under the skin. Do they just dry out?

 Typically just glue the beard into the brass of the shell I use. One bird that had decent Spurs I cut them and then boiled and tried to whiten as best I could. |
