To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The primary quills should be kept in position by clamping with fine wire ; that is, a piece of wire should be bent on itself like a hair- pin and slipped over the edge of the wing. Spread the tail by laying it on the cross-piece of wire under it, and clamp it down with a piece of very fine wire, which is wound around each end of the cross-piece. If the tail is to be spread very widely then run a wire through the two outer y6 MANUAL OF TAXIDERMY. quills, thus keeping them apart ; though even the...n the clamp should be used. If a convex or concave tail is desired, bind the cross-piece in a corre- sponding manner. I do not, as a rule, recommend binding freshly-skinned birds, nor do I consider it necessary excepting in instances where feathers are rough. If a bird be properly mounted a few more clamps on the wings will keep it in form ; then the feathers can be made to stand out as they do in nature, not lie down close to the body as if the birds were badly frightened. This is particularly noticeable with owls ; a perfectly happy and contented owl, who is pursuing his vocations, has apparently a body nearly or quite twice the diameter of one that is frightened.
