QuiltnNan has 2 really good ideas here--both would also allow you to have some dip to the "wire" to make it more natural looking.

Remember soutash(sp?) braid? In the days we wore blouses with sailor collars, the braid did the single line around the collar. It was stitched in a ditch in the center and fairly easy to apply as I remember it. That would make a very fine line for skinny bird legs.

I took a class how to add 1/8 inch wide pieces to fabric. It's been a long time but the main thing I remember is to sew with the fabric to the right not the left of the needle. We made a square starting with a solid square and adding 1/8 to 3/4 inch border all around it to make a 6 inch square. I still have mine as a reference if I ever want to do it again.
