Internal decapitation. Basically using the English method (as described in the link above) you break the neck in such a way that the spine is severed and breaks the jugular but the head does not separate from the body. When you hang the bird it bleeds into the neck, in the space between the head and spine. It's cleaner in that the blood remains contained inside the skin and doesn't spill on the ground. But I don't like it because then there's a huge gross blood clot at the base of the head and it icks me out when I go to cut the head off (I don't use the English method, but we did have the same effect the one time we used the broomstick method).
