Check out these Bald Eagle mounts. They are recreations! Beak and feet are resin and I believe the feathers are from turkeys. The guy has some talent!

It is amazing the talent that is out there. I used to go to wildlife carving shows and I say birds made out of wood that looked like they could fly away. You are correct, most faux feathers are made from dyed white turkey feathers, I use faux bald eagle feathers and various faux hawk feathers to make native American lances and stone war clubs and they look real.

Talented, indeed.

Wow. *Tips hat*
