Could try wrapping the flesh portion with a cloth moistened with a salt solution?

What you may have to do is cut the feathers off as close to the base as possible and fan them out and secure them with body filler. You still be able to get right down to the quills but it will be a lot of work. TC

I think you could put it in a pail of water till it softens up

May take a few days though
