Question about volunteering

Hello everybody! I hope that it's okay to ask this question.

I was wondering if anyone has experience in volunteering with birds. I have seen postings for volunteer surveying and bird banding, where you spend the summer doing this.

Can someone explain to me their experience with something like this, adn what did you like or dislike about it. How much experience should you have going into something like this?I am less concerned with it being a paid opportunity, since I am very fortunate to have a supportive family.

I'm sorry if these are silly questions, but I really appreciate it!

Hey everyone! I'm making my firt foam base, and it's going well. However, I am doing a lot of sculpting with scissors. I have found that this really hurts my wrist (and I'd rather not use a knife since I sliced my finger el oh el)

ANYWAY. I was wondering if anyone has experience with spring loaded scissors? Do they cut foam well (i am mostly concerned with small cuts made whens cultping)-- and do they genunely prevent pain? Ty!!

Hi, everyone! I'm going to be making my first ever fursuit head. I'm getting the supplies tomorrow, and I have watched several videos / checked out several picture tutorials on creating a head.

I am scared becasue of how much stuff goes into this, but I feel it's going to be worth it.

That said, I'm wondering if anyone has some advice or common mistakes to avoid?

Other than that, I'm wondering:

When you do the duct tape pattern, do you put the duct tape directly on the foam? How likely is it that the tape is going to stick to the foam?

Also, I was confused about the 'follow-me' eyes. I was wondering if someone could explain to me how they make those and how they incorporate them.

Thanks!! : D
