Hey friends. I picked this up from an antiques store earlier today for £90. Was this worth the money? And how much would you estimate the true value to be if it’d be more or less than what I paid. Thank you for your time! 🖤

I mounted this bird. I degreased, defleshed, debrianed, rubbed it with borax. I must admit that there are a few mm of meat left on the head. But flies keep laying eggs on it. I sprayed it with some bug spray hoping it works, and removed all eggs that I saw. Any tips to get rid of them all forever?
