The Bone Collectors
Having a hard time finding a place that is just for people that focus on collecting bones? Well I had that problem and this blog is to unite the novice and the seasoned bone collectors. Here there will be pictures of different kinds of bones, how-to's, and anything else I can find that pertains to bone collecting and a little bit of taxidermy. (Pelt and limb preservation, jewelry, etc)
Me, being a bone collecting novice, will try to help put forth as much information as possible so we can all expand our knowledge, bring back this dying art that's most commonly frowned upon and have a bad-ass collection of bones ;D

First of all, this blog is amazing! I’m thrilled to see that others share this fantastic hobby. This is a partial example of my bone collection, along with preserved bird parts. All of these animals were found dead in nature, with the exception of the duck wing, which I got from a local hunter.

Ostrich feet.
Unlike the flighted birds, ratites (ostriches, rheas, and emus) have to run to escape from predators. Because of this, they developed heavy, solid, strong leg and foot bones. These bones are able to anchor the strong muscles that the ratites rely upon. If one of these birds feels it doesn’t have enough room to run, they can kick incredibly hard with those same muscles. There have been lions found starved to death because of a broken jaw, and the breaks (and lacerations) were shown to be caused by ostrich feet and talons.
