Hi Jasmine, You definitely have a problem. Is it possible to get some closeups? Are these taxidermies in the open or in cases? This information would help to identify the problem.
Good luck Gretchen From: pestlist@googlegroups.com <pestlist@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Jasmine Heckman Sent: Friday, May 3, 2024 10:13 AM To: pestlist@googlegroups.com Subject: [PestList] Anyone have ideas on what could be damaging these taxidermy mounts? CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello there, I visited a collection recently for the first time that generally does not have a lot of individuals overseeing the materials. They have some taxidermy bird mounts that have been losing a lot of feathers over the past few years. I found some lovely little beds within the same space using the feathers and lots of droppings and urine, but I don't know if the mice are actually removing the feathers (vs. seizing the opportunity to cushion up their beds for the night), if the feathers are naturally falling, or if another pest is causing the destruction. The pictures are not great (no lighting in the space), but I am wondering if in looking at these if anyone has any insight. I greatly appreciate your help!
