[AGL] Birds/lunch or art

[Bill Irwin]

I would be happy to pluck the little birdies for free, of course you would
have to pay the travel expenses.  Afterwards we could try your recipe.
Strange about peoples limitations - OK to keep the dead birds in the freezer
but no-no to pull the feathers out!!?

The art work is not my style but I can see that they would be big sellers.
