All anyone has to do is ask. And when I do post something where my location is important, I will post that as well.

It's always good to set an example....and it's SO nice to be reading and have it right there, without having to ask...... or scroll back and forth to find it mentioned.

I carry my birds like the diagram FFM posted. Like a backwards football. I would imaging holding a bird by the wings (shoulders), could cause injury if the started flapping. I pick them up using the two hands holding wings down method. My location is posted for the world to see! Come visit, I love company!

Like I stated before, I do most moving poultry that way. I generally have been using the winghold paired with body support. Just couldn't accomplish that in the images. Despite having multiple children, I still haven't grown that extra set of arms yet.

I carry my birds kind of like a football. Wings closed in under my arm with them resting on my forearm while I hold their legs. They are usually held backwards. So their head is behind me and pooper in front in case they decide to let go while carrying them.
