This model is designed to help students learn and practise two common avian wing bandaging techniques: Figure-8 Wing Bandage (to support fractures of the wing bones.)Closed Wing Bandage (to immobilise the wing and support healing.)
 
The macaw has humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpus and phalanx bones with primary, secondary and tertiary feathers attached.
 
Stretchy silicone connects the wing bones to the body to replicate the tendon’s instinctive drawback.
 
Positionable wings allow them to be rotated and fold against the body naturally.
 
The model is weighted accordingly to represent a large male scarlet macaw.
 
The head can swivel 360 degrees.
