thegazbo Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) how do you mount a dead bird to a rotary flapper? I just can't seem to find any info on this anywhere and I have looked. There are no instructions with my spinner so I watched you tube clips that solved that but no one seems to be using dead birds and I was lead to believe this to be best way of doing it.

oxfordfowler Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Cental spike up the vent through the body and into the head, but not all the way through. Push the little spikes (or clip on) through the wings by the last joint. Job done - easy with a bit of practice. Don't stab yourself by pushing to hard when locating spike into the head. :lol: OXF Edited June 4, 2012 by oxfordfowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeds chimp Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 i tend to break the wings on mine as not so much wear on the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 i tend to break the wings on mine as not so much wear on the motor Do you mean you break the wings when used on a flapper, which is what is recommended by the manufacturers. If you do mean on a rotary how would breaking the wings create wear on the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegazbo Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I managed to thread the spike up it's and I decided that this was far too much trouble so I went out and bought a pair of flappers. It just felt a bit too mean to do that to the poor things even tho they are dead.... but many thanks for the reply's.

simbasausage Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 To put it very bluntly, and like others have said shove the spike up it's ****, right through the body and into the head, thus suporting it, break the wings at the body, if you dont rigamortis sets in and makes the whole thing look fake and tends to make the bird slide back off and up the spike, and secondly the broken wings flap about in the wind giving it a much more convincing appearence!
