You will be doing well if you can find any birds for $5-7 each. Talk to local trainers or dog clubs, sometimes they have a few left overs or may let you order some with their larger order at a cheaper rate. Good luck in your search.

Sold the guy the Squabs then rowed to the boat launch {This was on Whidbey island}The cops stopped me and called a detective out. Said it was too much blood for a few birds. Squabs don't have many feathers so it was 6in of blood and seawater. Finally tested it as non-human and let me go. They thought I dumped a body in deep water. In 1972 blood tests took awhile.
