I have a great-horned owl to mount for a nature center. It will be mounted standing essentially staight up on a post. Can the feet be positioned with the ankles locked or should there be a little flex in the joint? Thanks for the help.

below the knees and above the feet.
Bob, maybe jay was trying to say they should be flexed slightly to give a more realistic appearance. Or at least, that's the way I do them.
slightly bent is best. Locked strait is OK. But hyper- extended is a no,no. Much depends however on what he is doing.
