The following two illustrations are efficient methods for tying wings and legs with only one elastic tie. Several other tying methods exist (not listed below) which use two elastic ties, one across the breast area and one across the legs. Please feel free to use whichever method is easiest for you.

Across the Breast: 1. Starting at the neck area, place the elastic tie over the tip of the wings. 2. Twist the tie and cross over the breast of the bird. 3. Place over the legs.

Across the Back: 1. Starting at the neck area, place the elastic tie over the tip of the wings. 2. Twist the tie and cross over the back of the bird. 3. Place over the legs.
