Birds
Anas platyrhynchos
The Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is one of the most recognizable and widely distributed waterfowl species in North America, and a favorite subject in our waterfowl taxidermy work. The drake’s iridescent green head, white neck ring, and chestnut breast make it a striking mount, while the hen’s mottled brown plumage rewards careful, detailed feather work.

About This Species
Mallards are dabbling ducks found across ponds, marshes, rivers, and flooded fields throughout the United States. As a strong, fast flier and a staple of the fall waterfowl season, the mallard is among the birds we mount most often for hunters and collectors.
Our Taxidermy Services
Our mallard mounts capture the iconic iridescent green head of the drake in stunning detail. Every bird is skinned, fleshed, and washed to remove all fat and grease for lasting preservation, then groomed feather by feather for natural symmetry and finished with hand-painted bills and feet for lifelike authenticity. We offer a range of poses — standing, landing, and dramatic in-flight arrangements — as wall mounts, tabletop displays, or full habitat scenes.
