Plus I don't know the secret handshake.  I suppose that's why it's a secret.

OK, then.  Here it is!  Shhhhhhhh.....!!!

You approach the OTHER member of the flock as if you are going to shake hands.  At the very last second, you give each other "the bird", then twist the appropriate "bird indicator finger" around the corresponding finger of your bird brother or bird sister.

Of course, if you've "guessed wrong" about your potential bird brother or bird sister, you may have some explaining to do....
