They sure are cute! Although, if you want to raise a pet bird, you might also consider a nice bantam Cochin hen, or a Bearded Belgian hen. (Yeah, here she goes with the chickens again! 😆 ) But seriously, our little banties are really neat birds, very personable and tolerant of handling. Bantams are much smaller than regular chickens. The Cochins look like little feathery Chinese grapefruit, and the Beardies have little beards (usually) and feathered feet. Both types weigh less than two pounds; the Beardies are pigeon-sized and the Cochins are the same, although with those poofball feathers they look a little bigger. If there’s a feed store in your area, they may do orders of chicks in the spring and summer, and sometimes you can piggyback a special request onto an order.
If you go with a hen, then you don’t have to put up with crowing and they’re a lot less likely to be nippy. (Plus, you get eggs!) We have four Beardie hens and four bantam Cochin hens, from two different sources, and they’re all sweet. We also ended up with a bantam Old English Games hen who is even tinier–the size of a very small pigeon–and very friendly, but since I only have one I don’t know if she’s a fair example of the whole breed as far as temperament, or an oddity. She was probably raised as a 4-H show bird, because she’ll put up with anything.
Yup, I love my chickies! 😉 They’re not as cute as Poad™s, but they’re definitely pets.
…are the eggs edible? (Please don’t kill me for asking)

This girl made a gum-paste mold of the “secret keeper” Windstone dragon and is selling prints of the photo she took of it, and no credit was given to Windstone in the image desc: http://raynich2.deviantart.com/art/Pastillage-Myth-146559063 :/
Wish I could have seen that picture. I’m curious how he – that “artist” is a guy, from the looks of his DA profile – presented the mold. He couldn’t have gotten it off a real SK.
He basically reposted Melody’s picture from Elfwood…. same sculpting base and everything…. claiming it was his own. It wasn’t the only piece in the gallery like that, and not all of them have been removed, but that one was.

If someone wants to send me a housewarming Poad, I wouldn’t say no. 😆 😀 😉

Nice Poad!
Nice griffy, too… but I don’t like the red eyes for some reason.
(And I got a JOB today, so maybe I’ll be able to bid again soon!) 😀

He is pretty, but I think I’ll let the dragon-lovers go for him. 🙂

How long is this sale going on? I’m currently “nearly” homeless, so shipping would be a problem.
