Cutoff tips of round toothpicks and CA Glue.
If you have micro drill bits, they help alot to
make holes to glue into. This makes a base
to adhere the Aves to.

Apoxie paste or acrylic gloss sealer in bottle ..
It really fills pin holes..

3D resin and a UV light work great for this. Just one more benefit of being in the 3D end of the hobby. The clear also works great for eyes and teeth for a finish layer. The beauty of it on eyes is you can coat the entire eye first and cure it. Then you can go back and add a very realistic bump on top of the iris with a smaller drop of the clear resin and it cures in seconds with the light.
