Although most will be in cases, we would like to exhibit some of the larger birds and a few smaller ones on pedestals with stanchions around them. Can anyone please share their museum's policy on exhibiting taxidermy? We have off-gassed many of these birds already. There is some concern because they do contain toxic chemicals.
