I use small bits cut from soft plastic tubing. Very easy to pop on & take off when the skin has dried. Photo attached of some of the ones I use for small passerines. Could probably be used for larger birds as well.</p>

<span style="color: black;">Hi All,</span></p>

<span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<span style="color: black;">Does anyone have advice for an archival glue that can be used to keep bills closed when preparing bird skins, or perhaps can suggest a good method for this? We always tie them shut with string through the nostrils, but for some birds
that have long bills or oddly shaped ones it is hard to keep it closed. Some colleagues have used regular super glue, but I am not so keen on this idea</span></p>
