I am thinking of using livestock for my puppet act.Anyone has any suggestion for any livestock that is "puppet sized"
Example can white finches pass of as a puppet size "dove"?
I wanted to build an act where a magician marionette or other form of puppets that can do a manipulation act with cards and climax with producing a live bird as real magician would with a dove.
I've thought of a puppet dove but I think the real livestock would be more interesting.
My marionettes are about 28 inches high.
I am imagining maybe Siegfied and Roy puppet with productions of white colored livestock that resembles their white tigers.
Just some crazy thoughts

A finch might be too nervous to use, it might just fly away in fear (but then I'm no bird expert). Having said that though a slew of white butterflies or similar would look pretty amazing.

White butterflies....hmm...
Where can one find butterflies? Aren't they very delicate?
Their life span is very short isn't it?
On special occasions,that will make a very nice effect.
Thanks for suggesting.
