Pigeon feet and wings

I have never done any bird work, so help me out here...can i preserve pigeon feet somehow other than injection? (I'm having trouble getting syringes). Also, would like some tips on fleshing wings, if that's needed. Thanks

I get syringes at the local feed store

Maybe your state is different? You can also get them through the various suppliers if all else fails.
Without injecting ... hmmm. Well, on BIG birds I like to open up the toes on the bottom, remove the tendons etc, apply borax, fill the space w/epoxy putty, and super-glue the seam back together.
That seems like major overkill for a pigeon though, even though I'm sure it would work.
