Reeves Pheasant – Syrmaticus reevesii
$990.00
A beautiful Reeves Pheasant by Taranaki Taxidermist and owner of the Manutahi Taxidermy Museum, John Ward. It's stunning feather patterns and colours are bound to add to your collection. Mounted on wood.
He taught himself the art of taxidermy with the help of a few books from a young age, and aged eight he mounted his first bird—a pukeko. From there he would pick through his father’s mates’ duck shooting catches and select the best for mounting.
Aged nine he mounted his first animal, a ferret, and at 10 a peacock. As a teenager he polished his skills, working on ducks, rabbits, possums and the odd lamb. His biggest task was mounting an emu. John mainly specialises in birds.
