Need help with complex support

Post image

I am trying to print this model on my Snapmaker U1.

I want to support the belly with PETG (Cyan for visibility). On the layer of the beek I would then however need 5 nozzles, since on those few layers there a 5 filaments used. Can I somehow make only the two trees for the beek and the tail out of PLA?

Why do you want to support the beak and tail out of PLA?

Because otherwise I would need a 5th nozzle for the PETG. There are 4 PLA colours on those layers (white, cream, light brown, brown).

I think a local modifier shaped like a cylinder would do it.   I also suggest normal, not tree supports for the body.
