Stuffed memories
I watched a documentary show on stuffing dead animals to make specimens of them.It was really interesting! Let me tell you more
.

.
- Once your pet bird/dog/chicken/monkey dies, freeze them immediately.
- If yout pet bird/dog/chicken/monkey, especially bird, are not losing hair and decomposition have yet started, then experts are able to make them into specimens.
- Experts make a vertical incision large enough at the belly.
- PEEL THE SKIN
- after separating the skin with the muscles, experts need to take out the whole structure of the bird. including the head and the eyeballs. (i really don't know how they do that! le pigeon's head is so freaking small)
- Now, your dead pet bird/dog/chicken/monkey looks like a glove. (it's freakily cute)
- after smearing the insides of the "glove" with arsenic, because arsenic kills dust mites that feed off feathers/fur/hair, the stuffing begins
- cotton is rolled up to mimic the structure of muscles, and placed side by side, and then stacked up to fill up the "glove", giving your dead pet bird/dog/chicken/monkey it's original shape.
- then the skeleton is made with wires. (they are experts for a reason. they know the bone structure of ALL the animals)
- Sewing
- glass/plastic eye balls are painted according to how your pet bird/dog/chicken/monkey's look like
- After deciding it's final position, such as whether your pet bird/dog/chicken/monkey would be spreading it's wings or folding them, the expert makes final touches
- next is the arranging of each stand of feather. (O.O)
- you can live with your dead pet bird/dog/chicken/monkey forever
- Specimens 100 years old are still in good conditions
- Hence it's likely that after you died, your pet bird/dog/chicken/monkey is still alive
I don't think it's a good idea to stuff humans? damn freaking creepy. worse than wax statues.
