Enter..... OLIVIA....with the save on this blue phase Ross! She's lights out killing it ! I fleshed and mounted it.... she did everything else! "Like".... the head was "TORN OFF" :) ... she made it dissappear!

A rare ask... "Can you guys fix it?"

Great memory saved...the story of this bird is absolutely awesome and frankly....hilarious!

Nice save Olivia!

Brewers Duck

A roller coaster of a mount process with this early October hybrid! Unfortunately...after further inspection...he was still molting pretty heavy! He was hit fairly hard as well. We just rolled with the punches.... his head lost close to 30% of his feathers! But he sure finished up nice on this Walnut and Muddy Cattail scene! Someday I hope to be this lucky! A dream bird for me personally!

A little slice of Florida this week! These birds can be challenging at times. Down in the sunshine state...Tree Ducks and Mottled ducks live in a fairly constant state of molt. So they are almost always very pin feathered. The silver lining is that the molt areas are fairly evenly distributed around the body...making them appear rather plumaged out...even when they lose a TON of feathers! Those that know Olivia and I...know we lived in FL for about 7 years! I never chased ducks when I lived there and I've never officially been shamed for it...so here's your chance! BUT.... we're officially going 2025! πŸ™Œ

I had height restrictions on these as they have to fit in a glass cabinet...12" or less tall. The Fulvous is 11 3/4" πŸ˜‰

Bird Zone is FULL for 2024!

Those that spoke to me about trips this year...we have some spots saved for you. Those that have scheduled appointments with us...your GOOD...no need to call, come to your scheduled appointment as planned.

Another banner year folks... take in season is still rolling for Olivia and I yet...we have 60 some appointments on the books yet over the next few weeks. It's been an honor meeting all the new BZT members and seeing all our repeat clients! ❀️

If you missed the cut for any reason....follow our video on how to package your bird, and your bird will be absolutely fine till next October 1st. Also...read the last paragraph of this post about expedited slots.

Every year we fill faster than the last... I wish God gave me four hands instead of two! Olivia and I will be creating as much ART as possible until next October and it all starts again! Thank you to everyone that supports our small business!

Note....there is a chance that next year...we may NOT TAKE IN WORK...until we are completed with ALL orders. Its been a dream to get our turn around times to a year or less. Basically... only take in enough work that everyone gets their birds back before the following duck season...so 12 months or less. The only way to do that when we stop at a 2 year turn around...is to crush until we get them all done. Then start a new duck season fresh! Imagine...first in the door...gets a "month" turn around...last in the door only 12 months...then we stop. I'm not 100% sure we are going to this... depends on the economy and how well this seasons birds go. But I want everyone to know that it's on the radar!

Watch the page for updates...we will have some expedited 90 days spots open throughout the entire season... $150 upcharge... Those that need to get a bird in this season could snag one of those spots! We are full on those for Nov & December fyi......

Love you BZT family!

Jeff & Olivia
