Thread: Native bird mounts?

We had a wood pigeon (Kereru) hit the house window and break its neck and die recently. One of several who've misjudged their flight paths this year, the only one that has died fortunately. It's in a freezer at the moment.

Has anyone had a NZ native bird mounted? What are the rules? Haven't asked any taxidermists yet, but the couple of people at DoC we asked weren't helpful at all. I'd imagine its either not allowed, or surrounded in red tape?

Cheers
Josh.
