Byrdmounter, I have that very project on hold in my freezer with a rhea. Very simple to make the form yourself. I used heavy wire and wrapped the neck with cotton ropeing and string. Plan to use the natural skull w/clay etc. and attatch it to a small panel. Now, my bird is more correctly a neck mount but if you plan to include a bit of the chest it's still not difficult to carve it from foam and match it to the wrapped neck. Doubt you'll find these in production. Enjoy, Aaron H.
