I am mounting a pen raised buffle head whos feathers are spectacular except for having the feathers on one wing cliped. I have the bird mounted and it is in a sitting position. I am having trouble getting the wings tucked on the back. I try and its never in the right position, and the feathers on the side do not want to move up and meet the wing. Alo, I just started skining the head and taking out the skull. I use to leave the skull attached, and the super glue makes me nervous. Could any one help me with the wings, also what is the bill color for the buff.

As far as the bill goes I shoot them neutral gray, add some black and mist close to the face fading towards the tip. I think the primaries shoud be showing and often cross on the back, the pockets only cover about half way down the body and the rest of the wing shows...hope that makes sense for your question.
