    Birds have very delicate aie sacs. For small birds like that constricting them can seriously damage them and cause issues breathing.

      I think they lack a diaphragm. It was weird reading in my cockatiel care books that some handling on the neck was fine, but even small pressure to their chest could prevent them from breathing.
