March 31, 2019: Remember these legs that I finished in Part 6? It's finally time to set them into the bodies.
Picture
First, stick the legs into the leg openings and glue them in place using a syringe. (I apologize that I couldn't photograph the gluing process because I don't have enough hands.) Then pin the legs in place, and finish stuffing the bird as full as possible.

​When it's impossible to jam any more stuffing into the opening, sew it closed using strong upholstery thread.

Here's the first raven with his legs in place.
