The pheasant's feathers are gorgeous and have ornamental value. Using them to peel specimens can be used for teaching, scientific research and exhibition, and can also be used as elegant and expensive decorations. It will be more interesting to display some pheasant specimens in modern living rooms and study rooms. Pheasant specimens can also be sold as commodities, a beautifully shaped pheasant specimen, the price is about 150 yuan. The preparation process of pheasant specimens is as follows:

1. Selection of pheasants

The selected pheasant must have plump feathers, and its wing feathers and tail feathers must not be damaged or broken, with beautiful posture and normal beak and foot color.

2. Specimen making and skinning pheasants, after being killed and bled by mouth, plug the mouth and anus with cotton to avoid blood, saliva and feces polluting feathers. First, separate the trunk: cut the skin in the middle of the pheasant sternum, and be careful not to damage the crops; Peel off the skin and crop, pull out the trachea and esophagus from the neck, then cut off the trachea and esophagus behind the crop and take it out of the body; Cut off the cervical vertebra and gently pull out the cervical vertebra; The skin of the trunk is separated from the shoulder joint, and the shoulder joint is cut off, so that the wings are separated from the trunk; Then peel back the knee joint and cut it off, leaving no muscle in the tibia; When splitting the tail, don't peel off the tail feather; Cut off the coccyx and rectum, cut off the fat gland of the tail, completely separate the skin from the trunk, and take out the trunk; Then, peel off the skin on the wings and gently push the skin down at the ulna until the wrist joint, so that the ulna can support the muscles; Finally, the skin of the head is peeled off, and the skin of the head is reversed from the atlanto-occipital joint, and the muscles of the skull are separated from the face, paying special attention to the skin separation at the ear and the orbit, and finally reaching the base of the beak. When you peel your eyes, cut them off first, then peel them off, dig out the eyeballs, remove the muscles of your head, take out your tongue and hyoid bone, and remove the brain marrow. Treat skin and skeletal skin ectropion, remove the fat and connective tissue remaining on the skin, and then apply camphor and talcum powder. For the residual bone, it can be treated with 10% formaldehyde: after the tiny bone has its periosteum scraped off, it is coated with cotton to absorb formaldehyde several times; Thick bones need to be drilled and formaldehyde injected into them. Manufacture of trunk and neck support: bend the iron wire into an ellipse slightly smaller than the pheasant's trunk, interweave the two iron wires at the front end into a twist shape, and insert them into the head from the neck, with the ends bifurcated and stuck in the cranial cavity, and plug them with cotton. Fabrication of hind limb support: Insert two iron wires upward from the toe bottom incision, leaving 5 cm at the end, and connect and fix the top with the body support. There must be more than five fixing points, and the length of iron wire should be adapted to the length of hind limbs, and the residual bone should be fixed with iron wire. Fabrication of the biplane bracket: Use a steel wire with two ends extending from the shoulder to both ends of the biplane, leaving about 3 cm of skin on each side, firmly connecting the steel wire with the trunk bracket into a whole, and fixing the remaining bones with steel wire. Manufacture of tail feather bracket: a metal wire is wound and fixed on the back of trunk bracket, with both ends bifurcated upward and inserted into both sides of coccyx for fixation. Filling suture: put the prepared skeleton into peeled wild chicken skin, and fix one end of the iron wire in the body axis direction on the skull and the other end on the coccyx. Then use mildew-free, dry and clean cotton, shavings, old thread and other materials to fill the pheasant's body (sprinkle some insect-killing and mildew-proof drugs such as camphor powder and borneol before filling), sew with thread, and finally arrange the chest feathers to cover the suture site and install artificial eyes. Plastic coloring: firstly, adjust the joint angle of hind limbs to make pheasant specimens stand or run normally; Then, adjust the posture of its wings and open them to both sides, or naturally put them away when standing; Cut the wire to expose the skin at the end; Then, adjust the posture of the head and neck; Finally, wrap the specimen tightly and fix it with gauze, and dry it in the shade in a ventilated and dry place. After the specimen is dried in the shade, it needs to be colored, that is, the crown, wattle, earlobe, shin and toe are coated with oil painting pigment, and its color must be consistent with the appearance color of pheasant species. After the pigment is dried, it is coated with a layer of oil or varnish to make the feathers more colorful. -
