    It is cruel in my book, although they do form real close bonds with the folk that own them cause they sociable so maybe not so cruel after all. Dunno now.

    Fantastic. I have had loads of them actually. Wings and main body are nice but it's the beak that lacks any flavour at all. I prefer pigeons more. Bit more gamey taste.

    Should I have heard of him? An unfortunate surname is the only thing I recognise there.

    I agree it's cruel in a way, I would never have one that I thought would have a great life free in the wild, Rudy is a rescue bird though so could not survive on her own, she gets lots of love and is part of the family now, they are great company and very amusing.

    This is one of Rudy's fun things to do..





    Sludge the ones I was on about are Indian ringnecks, they are slightly smaller than a Grey but quite cute and friendly and quite good talkers, obviously a blue one would be better.

    Those colorful ones, they look hard as feck like they waiting on a telephone line to rob a starling or sum such for their seed money. The green one is giving it stacks. The grey one looks tasty n all.
