For a crop needle to be safe this S bend can be straightened out by simply extending the birds neck. This natural extending action straightens the S and allows for a normal crop needle to be inserted safely into the crop without any incident.

For a crop needle to be safe this S bend can be straightened out by simply extending the birds neck. This natural extending action straightens the S and allows for a normal crop needle to be inserted safely into the crop without any incident. There is no physical room in a bird’s anatomy for curved crop needles to be either safe or effective – in fact the safest place is the bin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eLearning to crop needle is a little like riding a bike and the age old saying applies ‘once you’ve learnt you never forget’.

For a crop needle to be safe this S bend can be straightened out by simply extending the birds neck. This natural extending action straightens the S and allows for a normal crop needle to be inserted safely into the crop without any incident.
