Phil, I've caped one myself and I like the look. Treat the skin with Borax to keep bugs out. Another look that I like is a fan mounted with the two wings spread and pointed down underneath. Kind of reminds me of the old Journey emblem. I did one like that but it got destroyed. For the most part I don't do anything with my birds anymore except save the wing feathers for arrow feathers. My buddy cuts the spurs off like jepcho described and puts them on a necklace he uses for hunting. The center has his call pouch. A little too tribal for my taste, but he likes it.
I have my cape drying out right now with borax.. I have thought a bout adding the wings on with my tail fan. Just not sure about 2 things.. 1) is how to dry the wings out without getting any bugs on it.. Then a even bigger problem is 2) where I can find the room for it without the wife's cats getting at it. I told her I could keep Rusty my Irish Setter watching over it. She did not like that idea either as Rusty dislikes her cats worse than I do... lol
