Isabella Ross, How taxidermists are ‘honouring the life’ of extraordinary creatures through art and science, ABC News, 2 November 2025
Roshana Van der Wall’s workspace is typical of many taxidermists.
There is a jar of glass eyes, a scalpel and a sharp objects bin, along with a pot of fine-tip paintbrushes on her desk.
A taxidermied mynah bird perched on a teacup sits nearby too.
It was a primary school museum excursion decades ago that piqued Ms Van der Wall’s interest.
