What a good tip.<br /><br />I used to use bag balm to prevent chapped hands in the winter.<br /><br />I used to find it very frustrating to try to band babies until I stumbled upon one trick. Before a bird goes into flight, a reflex straightens its leg and toes to push off from the perch. I found that if I gently straighten the leg in imitation of this reflex, the toes extend just long enough to slip the band onto the three front toes.Brian Rowenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206760154173299151.post-8883289502827697412014-12-28T11:38:37.301-08:002014-12-28T11:38:37.301-08:00I use it when I band babies, just put a dab of it ...I use it when I band babies, just put a dab of it inside the band using a toothpic.
