A traditional taxidermy red grouse mounted in a natural standing pose upon a shaped display base.

Native to the British uplands and moorlands, the red grouse is one of the United Kingdom’s most recognisable game birds, admired for its rich chestnut plumage and distinctive character.

This example displays the warm russet and mottled brown feathering for which the species is known, with the characteristic red comb visible above the eye.

Mounted in a classic upright stance, it captures the bird’s alert and watchful nature, making it an attractive display piece for country house interiors, shooting lodges, sporting collections, and taxidermy cabinets.

Taxidermy game birds have long been collected as decorative and sporting curiosities, bringing a touch of the British countryside indoors while celebrating traditional field sports and natural history.

An appealing example of classic British sporting taxidermy.
