I've used a wire brush for mammal hides. It softens the tanned skin and gives it a suede texture. A bird might be too delicate for that. I've seen rasps used for this as well. Again, I can't say that it wouldn't be too aggressive.

Hey did you ever find out how to soft hide tan? I was wondering how to do the same thing!Well I am going to be harvesting some birds and I have invested some money in so Genetic hackle birds that I just got and am wanting to practice on the Roosters that I got for meat birds before I go and mutalate the Genetic hackle birds. I am wanting to get the hides soft and plyable. I dont want to just salt the hides because that makes them stiff and hard to store and work with. If you have the recipe for the soft tan please let me know so I can start trying it. Thanks all.
