Re: Found a expired heron

Wanted to apologize for not having anything up in a new thread! I am feeling a bit off lately and my sleeping schedule has suffered for it. Find myself sleeping 12 hours plus lately and when I am up I am just feeling drained. Gonna be taking some supplements and such to see if I can get everything back on track.

I will be putting up something ASAP in a new thread about everything along with pictures. I am not ignoring all of ya <3


As for why I fear zombies, I dunno why they are so scary to me. But they are. I have had sleepless nights staring at my big sliding glass doors that go into my backyard a bit paranoid about zombies and how it would be near impossible to defend because of those doors. When we lived with my in laws they had a HUGE house with a bunch of doors that had big glass panels in them and I often worried about the same thing in their house.

I guess that just makes me a little odd and a little crazy...

Boiling often makes the bone constrict and I have seen warped skulls where teeth no longer fit into the sockets and nasal cavities all collapsed. Boiling is only good for certain things. I would only use it to get the initial flesh/skin off but never to completely get a bone. It can also discolor the skull to a more non-natural yellow color.

I will have to take a picture of my fox skull. I have in tact sinuses that I am pretty proud of managing to save as well as all the teeth still fitting in the skull without the aid of glue. I would have a bottom jaw if it hadn't been broken into 6 different pieces. Poor guy was hit by a train and I found him a long time after his expiration. Which is why I am optimistic about this heron skull coming out nicely. The two were in near same conditions upon me finding them.

Have you tried the new nazi zombie map? It's pretty awesome.


Nenna- The suspense is killing me, you can't even give a hint as to how you do it without boiling/insects? My freezer consists of nothing but taxidermy projects.... Adult RTB heads, beardead dragon heads, giant monitors.....

Re: Found a expired heron

Tomorrow okay I promise tomorrow to get pictures of the mummified heron, my fox skull to show off the nasal passage still in tact, and of course posting up the technique that I do.

Nah, you're not odd and crazy, you just fit right in with all the other humans. But with glass doors I would worry about peeping Toms and Burglars. At least they announce Zombies on the radio and TV. hahahaha

Its funny I don't mind peeping toms or burglars but zombies are just ugh. I don't listen to the radio and since I have streaming Netflix and then any TV I record via my DVR from my cable company...I would be out of the loop. My only HOPE is the internet alerts me before it would be to late. But even then I don't have Facebook, only check my email maybe 1 time a day, and don't read the news on the net either.

Oh and did I mention if the power suddenly fails I immediately think its because of a zombie attack? Hubby likes to mess with me (if it is dark) and start making zombie moaning sounds...

Oh god. The mixture of my choice of smoke tonight and my sleeping aid made this statement probably 20 times more funny. Thanks for posting if the event happens. Just hope it is the American/Canadian folks that post. The UK I am not so worried about
