Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus)
(This species is not subject to regulations for internationally rare wildlife. It is sometimes kept as a pet, and taxidermied specimens have been traded on Mercari in the past. It does not fall under prohibited items.)
Taxidermied great horned owls are rarely seen and are quite unusual. This item has been detached from its perch, and a wire has been attached to its back, allowing it to be hung on a wall. The body is also relatively light, making it easy to handle.
This item has a strong atmosphere and would be perfect for store fixtures or for creating a unique space.
It might help you create a space reminiscent of a Wunderkammer or Harry Potter!
As this is an old taxidermied specimen, please understand that there may be age-related wear such as ruffled feathers. It has been displayed on a wall for about a year, and no feathers have fallen out within that time.
This is a rare item, so discounts are not possible. We also have a separate listing for a hunting trophy of just the head, so please take a look.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
The packaging was neat and the product arrived without any damage. The design is simple but practical, exactly what I was looking for.
