Sundowner Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi all, I tried to do a search on the matter but didn't get anywhere. I know to "stick" pigeons through the vent and all that, but is there a way to spread wings and make it look more life like? I am sure there will be a thread somewhere, I just havnt found it Thanks for any contributions!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 If they are on the ground you don't really want the wings spread out, makes them look like they are lifting off. Wing spreaders come in all guises, but a couple of croc clips silver soldered to some coat hanger wire would do you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
