No, my pet birds need space and fresh air and 
sunshine, and they need chickens to eat.  Chickens 
are high in many of the things that my birds need 
to eat; very good for them.  Since throwing a live 
chicken in for the other birds to kill and eat would 
be a bit messy, not to mention very painful for the 
chicken, I am glad that I can go to the store and buy 
Mr. Perdues chicken parts, which have been raised 
specifically for food, and have been killed in a lot 
less painful way then being torn apart by a bunch 
of other birds.  Perdues way is a lot nicer than
Natures way...

I cant make it that day; can someone pick up a case 
of the boneless breasts for me?  Skin is fine, but 
boneless is better for the birds.

Thanks!
