Post by: seth30 on February 26, 2010, 06:48:54 PM: Yes over here they are. they are all farm raised birds, and they seem a tad smaller than the wild version I used to hunt as a child.

Post by: seth30 on March 19, 2010, 11:47:53 AM: Yes it was a hard task. All of my stuff was modified with puppy teeth marks, and all of the rooms were marked with urine :'( But looking back it was worth it. They are litter mates and they are unserpartable.
