Bischoff's Taxidermy & Animal
FX offers the largest selection of life-like animals for rent in the
industry. If you can't find something on our website or if you have custom job
specifications, please call us (818)843-7561. We have a huge warehouse of
animals, birds, fish, reptiles, and rodents -- and we have a
professional taxidermist to assist in customizing your orders. If you
need a more "pristine" animal than one of our off-the-shelf rentals,
Bischoff's can fabricate an animal or imaginary creature to your
specifications. Please call for a quote.

Bischoff's Taxidermy was founded in 1922 by Al Bischoff. The original location
was on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles California. Bischoff created a major taxidermy
studio in the heart of Hollywood for hunters and many stars of the era. At
Bischoff's Taxidermy, Roy Rogers' Trigger was taxidermied. Over the years,
Bischoff accumulated a huge collection of his own taxidermy of birds and
animals from around the world. Bischoff's has changed hands over the years,
relocating to San Fernando Road in Burbank and then to our current location at
54 E. Magnolia, Burbank, California. Today this beautiful collection of our fur
and feathered friends still exists and is shared by Bischoff's Taxidermy &
Animal FX with our customers.
