Lifelike Mounts and Quality Craftsmanship - Preserving your memories from Africa.
Founded in 2023. Somerset East, South Africa.
Where four biomes meet and birdlife is abundant.
Bergen Birdworks was built on the back of the hunt—early mornings, cold hands, and time in the field. Founder Jeff Bergen cut his teeth on the shores of Lake Erie, Canada, where a respect for birds and the craft came first.
That hasn’t changed.
No shortcuts. No factory work. Just honest taxidermy, done right.
Each bird is mounted to hold the moment—true posture, real character, nothing forced. Work that reflects the hunt, not just the specimen.
Built for homes, collectors, and spaces that value something real.
Influenced by the wild Eastern Cape. Driven by experience. Finished by hand.
