We report an innovative technique for closure of a large secondary donor-site defect (in a post-electric-burn primary defect in cervico-occipital area, reconstructed with Trapezius myo-cutaneous flap) by using a double set of sequential bilateral bipedicled flaps which resembled "Jatayu", the holy bird with clipped wings as per the epic "Ramayana".
