How do you clean dead animal parts so you can keep the bones? I assume that’s what you’re doing with the bird corpse anyway. I found a rabbit head and I want it.

roachpatrol:

loosely wrap the dead animal / body part in the kind of plastic netting/mesh you get oranges in. this keeps the bones together n helps you find it later, while leaving room for bugs to get in and out. leave your body part out somewhere long enough for flies and bacteria to get to it, then bury it outside in a flower pot under a couple inches of dirt. let it be for a couple warm, wet months. water the pot occasionally to keep it moist n yucky. dig it up, wash it clean under a faucet with dish soap and a soft toothbrush. this part can be very gross, depending on how well it rotted. after soap and a brush have gotten all the soft tissue off, soak it in a bowl of hydrogen peroxide for a few days to sterilize it and whiten the bones. use plastic gloves and lots of soap to protect yourself from germs and parasites!
