Have you ever been short handed while handling an avian patient? Ha, ha, short-handed? Never!  If you need a third hand and yours happens to be unavailable you can always burrito your avian patient.  Alas I would NEVER attempt this with anything larger than a cockatiel, with the exception of doves and pigeons which work great with the technique. Check out this happy girl or boy here.  This little one has suffered a wing trauma, but is as happy as a pigeon in a burrito while he/she awaits a bandage.  🙂
