A real bone male African WESTERN BLUEBILL finch skull taxidermy bird animal art

Description

A real bone skull of a male African WESTERN BLUEBILL finch (
Spermophaga haematina
)  The skull was beetle cleaned and whitened with peroxide.  The skull is complete with mandible, and although I have not glued it to the cranium--but there is a bit of dried material about the skull. The skull does not exhibit any damage that I can see and is a nice example of the species.   Please be aware there may be other flaws or damage that I cannot see as this was once a living thing, and living things rarely show perfection in death.  These little birds are native to most of West Africa, but this is not a skull that I have ever seen for sale.  This is a good chance to get an unusual little bird skull for your collection. It is also quite sturdy and makes a good hands on model.  It is about 3 cm in length. Best of all, being non-native its one of the few passerine skulls that are not a part of the migratory bird act that can be used for teaching.
PLEASE NOTE:  This species is NOT a CITES animal(meaning it is not endangered) nor is it a part of the Migratory Bird Act as it is a non-native animal to the US.  This makes it perfectly legal to sell and own this skull within the United States. Furthermore this animal was not taken specifically for its skull, but is a by-product of a deceased bird.
I am sorry, I will only ship within the USA.
