how to hold a bird still while working on it. I netted birds for
years with an ornithologist (banding) and I have my own collection.

gldancer expounded:

Today I had to cut away some bird netting from a black snake that was
entangled in it. The netting was over the top of the garden, but some
of it was on the ground and this what the snake was in. My husband
held the snake's head away from me as I cut and cut. She was finally
somewhat free from the netting, but still had three areas still
encircled by it. Not once did she try to bite, but was very patient
with me.

It finally wiggled away from us. Strong!! I hope that the rest falls
off her or I am going to have to find her to try to get the rest off.
