Guess it's good it doesn't fit, huh?
Maybe the gov drone isn't 100% sure about the fit & is still deciding, sizing.
The smol mammal on the other hand is in love with the big flamboyant dommy.
Well, galliformes in general are kind of murder beasts. I've had some deluded roosters decide to pick a fight with me and I personally wouldn't want to tango with a full grown tom turkey. Never really dealt with peafowl, but I'd imagine they're about as nasty as their cousins.
Are cassowaries in this branch as well?
Nah, they're closer related to emus.
And emus are worse, I'd rather not fight a bird that won a war against Australia.
I was gonna say. Seen videos of horse and cows chomping down on chicks. Birds are a little less, uh, restrained.
