do you force it into the head or just prop the head up?

9" green plant sticks, get them in a pack from the garden centre in a pack for about a quid, same sort of thing as Foggy, pushed up thru the chin.

i've been using 2 foot garden canes lately to good effect.inserted through body to the head, the wings hang down and give added movement in the lightest of winds.they also weigh next to nothing and easily fit in the gun slip.

I don't tend to bother with cradles any more.

Snap a Y stick off a tree and put the bird on the floor with it's head in the Y of the stick, nothing to carry.
