ronttuk Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 anyone know how to dry pigeon wings so they can be used for magnets etc ? also what is the best way to pin them out to keep them open once dry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Open out the wing and lay it on a board and using panel pins and nail it without piercing the skin and if it twists wire it into place. If you can a sunny window is best but an airy shed should do.My windows used to see all the wings from the duck I shot as the BASC used them for studying movements and ages of w/fowl.

henry d Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Give it a week or 2 and if flies are a prob cover it with a bit of net curtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
