Naturalis prepares griffon vulture in public
* ANP 28 July 2008, 18:06
LEIDEN –
This Friday, a griffon vulture which died mid July in the Wieringermeer will be prepared by a taxidermist in Naturalis museum Leiden. …
According to Naturalis, it is long ago that a griffon vulture died in the Netherlands. The last time was supposedly in 1944.
… The skin and the bones, after preparation, will be preserved in the scientific collection of Naturalis.
The last time there was taxidermy in public of a vulture in Naturalis was after Carmen, the only Eurasian black vulture in the Netherlands, had died.
Sir, I have complete set of bones of Griffon vultures, which is ready to go for making skeleton for our museum or educational purposes. Now, I wondering how to begin the anatomical assembling and which parts of bones fixing should begin and how? iam working in one of the conservation institute in Bhutan. I would highly appreciate even for your single word.

Dear Rinchen Singye,
As I am not a taxidermist myself, I refer you to Naturalis museum in Leiden, the Netherlands, where this vulture taxidermy was done:
