This picture shows a front view of the same method of grasping a canary safely - it is hard to tell this by looking at the canary, though, as he has turned his head to keep an eye on the camera!
You can see here how the fingers curl about the canary's body, 'caging' it without applying pressure. The main restraint is the fingers under the jaw - make sure you have his neck between your fingers, and not his head or he might be able to wriggle free! Your fingers should be just under his jawbone.
