With apologies to Carol, Larry, and Paul.
To stay alive, a puppet has to  move, not much and not all the time.  Since 
your "Dinostar" is a vent type puppet, you'll need to fit him onto some sort 
of support stand which allows you to shift his position, move an arm, flap 
his wings, etc. when you want him to, but will hold him in a "lifelike" 
position while you're elsewhere.  You've got to keep him in the show if he's 
going to be visible.  The alternative is to make a smaller duplicate that 
can get in on the action a few times, or to have the original backstage 
"helping" you, and of course getting in the way a bit.  Keep workin'  on it.
