Looking for a pic or 2 or ideas for a turkey cape.
Customer wanted a turkey tail flat body and wings attached .  Not sure as what shape it should have . Seen one on line but was just the tail and body but looked like the body was tapered. Did a search on here and found the dead turkey hanging pose.
 Any pics or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This is a royal palm I did about a year ago.
There isn't wings, but it might help.

This is how I do mine.  Typically the beard hangs down, but this birds beard was burnt from embers.

 Thanks for Turkey rug search. One person showed a pic and said to cut the bird from tail to head down the back??  So a turkey rug is done in 4 pieces  tail ,body and 2 wings then reassembled??
