Joyce,
It has been many years since I skinned a Starling. I slit the skin along the
belly, it is very thin. I remember working my fingers between the skin and the
meat, working the skin away from the body. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I don't have, but wish I did, A. K. Best's book on harvesting skins and furs.
If any of you have it, kindly look inside and see how to best skin a starling.
My friend gave me three of these and the one was so badly shot up that I was
able to save very little of the skin. I am wondering how is best to skin a tin
starling so as to keep the skin intact. Do you make the incision down the back
of the bird? If upi know the title of the book,kindly email me as well and
I'll see if I can pick up one used. Thanks for your help. Joyce
