We want to put these two shapes inside the middle Quill of the birds tail. So that we should hidethe extra parts, select both Black and Yellow shape and run the command Effect >> Power Clip>> Place inside Container, an Arrow will come, so click on the middle Quill of the tail, so both
shapes would go inside it as (before doing so you must have to check the option in Windows >>
Options and Auto-center new PowerClip contents should be switched off, otherwise yourobject will go into the center of the Quill):
