Recommende taxidermists include:
Ray Port and Peter Wells (who works in closely with Noel Hyde).
Ray is really good (20 plus years experience) but sometimes one has to wait as he does a lot of trophy trout and they can tend to get priority over mounted birds.
You can contact Ray at Ray Port Trout and Gamebird Taxidermy at 07-346 2807 and Peter Wells, Wild Arts and Taxidermy at 07-345 3650.
By far the most highly and popularly recommended was Noel Hyde from the Wingspan Bird of Prey Trust, who used to work at Te Papa. Contactable at
