I brought back a lilac-breasted roller from Zim several years ago and it's been at a well respected taxidermist for the last two years. They've been telling me the head wasn't skinned correctly and that they'd need to find some more feathers to finish it. As of this week they're telling me it's too far gone and that there isn't much hope. Can anyone recommend a taxidermist (in the US) who's a little more creative (chicken + airbrush ???) and/or would have access to some extra roller feathers? Your advice appreciated. Thanks, Kyler | ||

I was told in RSA recently that they were protected there. Don't know as I never saw a game regulation booklet, but I took their word for it. Also, I never saw one on the Eastern Cape. Plenty in Zim. You might contact your PH there?

Also known as Mzilikazi's Roller. He had a robe made of their feathers. For anyone else to possess a Roller's feather was a capital crime! Steve "He wins the most, who honour saves.
