Stuffed

I don’t know how you feel about taxidermy. I would hate to think an animal had been shot as a trophy, but I suppose if it is already dead I don’t have a problem with making it look almost alive again.

We came upon an amazing shop in Rue d’Aboukir in Paris filled with a menagerie of exotic and not so exotic animals. They are for sale or rent.

The birds are gorgeous.

 

I love the ark filled with animals.

It was a fun shop to explore. I would like a collection of these animals or birds, but I have no idea where I would put it.

 

 

The porcupine in the window was huge. We apparently have them around Casa Debbio. I have picked up quills, but I have not seen one. I hope I don’t come across one in the dark.

They eat bulbs and I certainly don’t want them digging up my daffodils. Perhaps I should have bought the one in the window and put a sign around his neck in porcupine speak, warning of what might happen if his relatives come near my bulbs.
