does anyone think it'd be weird to taxdermize (?) your pet after he/she passes away? :`( how much will it cost to do a parakeet?

GoOd LuCk!!! the best to you and your pet! [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

a taxidermist to do it. They are out there but
very expensive. The one I know will never do pets.
He says they never look like the person expects,
they get upset, they have spent big money and
it isn't worth watching them crying and etc.
He doesn't know of anyone who will do pets. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Taxidermy isn't cheap, (prices vary) but if you called around to nearby taxidermists you may find one who will cut you a fair deal.
Some places may want to charge you $50, others $150+ it just depends on the place.
