I have decided that, though my existing bird suit is unique and fun, I want to try making my own. So the first step is making a duct-tape dummy, but I was told I’d pretty much be ruining a set of clothing in order to do it.
Why? For $10 or less you can buy a painter’s jumpsuit from the hardware store and make the job even easier. My friends Zschamm and Darius and I bought some tape and a suit and away we went.
