This takes a lot of persistence. I recommend first tries on dead birds; second tries on birds one doesn't care too much about. This is a possible use for "frypan special" orders from the hatcheries that offer them.
I don't recommend trying to do favorite or pet birds until one has a LOT of experience or confidence...which I DON"T LOL.....
It really takes a while.
Back in the early 1900s or in French barnyards, I think the birds were viewed as food i.e. a bit expendable. It is a hard concept for most Americans to get their mind around because most of us are so far from the process of preparing a chicken to eat. It's really really hard to not see a peep-squeaking bird that is a "possible pet" when one does this the first couple of times. (but actually he is food....)
In fact, many people would rather buy already-prepared deli or fast-food chicken or at least chicken cut into parts - than deal with the whole supermarket chickens that are cheaper.
