Puppet Builder Needed!

My name is Marie Travers and I work as a rehabilitation supervisor at
International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC) in Fairfield, CA.
We are expecting to raise at least 400 baby herons and egrets this
year, and are trying to minimize the risk of imprinting them, so we
would appreciate any help we can get!

In the past, we have used lame sock puppets and hemostats to feed the
chicks, but this seems neither helpful nor functional. Latex puppets
would be ideal, since we would need to be able to clean the puppets
regularly.

Is anyone available to help us with the development of our bird
puppets? If you would like more information, I'd be happy to send it
along.

All the best,
Marie

P.S. We are finding ourselves this week suddenly swamped by 260+
orphaned ducklings! We only had 60 this time last week, so things
are getting busy quickly! The puppets would be such a huge help to
the baby herons and egrets who should start arriving soon.
