Once you are happy and feel that this skin is in the correct position, use the hairdryer on medium heat to dry any damp feathers Figure 76. At this stage if the eye lids are dry use a paint brush and paint a little water on the artifcial eye, you can also dampen the neck using a paintbrush though the mouth of the bird if necessary. Lay the bird on it’s back keeping the skin as straight as possible, gently pull the body though the incision and gently pull the wing into view Figure 77.
