Not poultry/livestock, etc. but we all love birds. <3 I've been trying to re-find something in the news a few months back on discoveries related to either toucan or hornbills--I believe it was "fringe-tongued toucans?" I was hearing that the tongue is so sensitive that the bird only needs to...
My daughter's Barnevelder cockerel pounced on and swallowed one of these before she could grab it... :-o He was maybe 3, 4 mos old at the time--that was 3 years ago, and he seems just fine. She never saw it pass or anything. I was told the crop can grind anything down in time. ::shrug!::

Cricket's 2 mos now. I had better pictures but when I blew the data limit on my phone--which I didn't know I had--3 of the yucky ones were sent. :rant So this is really just for fun. :) 2 weeks ago, about 20 folks guessed "pullet"...is Cricket still a pullet? :lol:
