Hate to be critical but you do realize ducks don't usually fly with their legs sticking out behind them? Their legs are usually folded up against their bodies to make them more aerodynamic. Your flying mounts would look more realistic if you had the legs in the "stowed" position.

Do you do any standing mounts? My daughter and I doubled on a couple of hooded mergansers during season and I would really like to have them standing.

Your flying mounts would look more realistic if you had the legs in the "stowed" position. They do not fold them forward though... I have seen a lot of duck mounts where people have the feet tucked forward like an upland bird. That would be wrong. They do like to keep their feet up against their bodies but they do trail behind.

If you saw spoonies do what I have seen them do you would never have them mounted. Dairies not condusive to spoonbill meat.

Understand what you are saying but the legs on these mounts just don't look natural sticking out the way they do. Again, just trying to provide some constructive criticism.
