I mounted a turkey today. Gave me alot of problems. It is sewed up w/o head on yet, and in fridge. Tommorow I plan to finish. I was having problems placing parts. I am sure legs or wings aren't twisted. Any tips on were to start? Would I place legs , wings, then tail and head or what. Just need a good place to start. I have never done a strutting bird b4. Thank you

start with the heaviest wires first..

In other words.. start with legs. .get your stance down so that it looks right.. check your balance.. then your wings.. then your head.. lastly put on the tail..

Good luck and have fun!
