It does take a little bit practice and yes they walk funny for a little bit, because it throws off their balance. Remember wrapping half a day works fine. So if he slips out then he is done for the day. My duck did manage that too, they are just build to good and are know they are Houdini.
Keep on working it. Below is a picture, not the best and I did not wrap high enough, because he managed later to get his wings out.

That's part of the problem I was having with the vetrap and why I had to go to the tape. The feathers were just too slick to keep them in it. Tried the really good vetrap too with the same result.
