Gamebird Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It has to be a joke. Someone has been having fun with their new software. Maybe it's a picken or a chigeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardene5 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi This photo looks wrong because of when it was taken. These birds were developed to inflate their crops and that is when the photo was taken. Personally we do not like it but everyone to their own ideas. Hope this helps Best regards Ian & Valerie William & Harry Missy & Millie dogs 9 Hens + + Henian Castle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 it's not so much the look of the bird, it just looks.....uncomfortable. I hope the way it has been bred does not interfere with its health because that's when it upsets me. Like with pugs and bulldogs for example, they have severe breathing problems because they've been bred to have such short snouts. Breeding something just for looks without considering the animals' health is sickening. That poor bird doesn't look comfy does he/she!?
