Is there an equally effective way to get the feathers of a bird to fluff without using a tumbler? I'm just starting out and sort of poking around taxidermy as a hobby and don't have the money to soak into a tumbler just yet. I have two bobwhites that I'd like to mount, and the last two birds I did I used a friend's tumbler, but he's visiting florida for the next several months and his shop is all closed up. (After he finishes the season's work, he goes out on fishing trips from his brother's condo on the coast).

Is there any other way?
