Someone needs to learn the difference between an eagle and a falcon.

Selling eagles online. Sometimes I am in such disbelief when I read the news and the things that people do, I just bang my head into the screen, then I go out to ride on the sidewalk, while throwing eggs at people.

Some years ago a friend of mine and I were drinking beer up on a nearby mountain. A guy stopped and he had a black shouldered kite in a cage. He wanted to sell the bird. He said that he had no money for food so if he couldn't sell the kite, he was going to eat it. My friend bought the bird and as soon as he got home, he released the bird. The bird took off and flew in a big circle then came back and sat on a clothesline post. My friend fed the bird scraps of meat. It would take the meat from my friend's fingers. It was a stunningly beautiful bird. The bird came back every day to be fed. It then would be gone for longer and longer periods of time. The bird was gone for a couple of weeks and we thought it was gone forever. It found a mate and came back and they nested in a very tall tree near my friend's house.

Don't expect some here to have morals as you will never find any as they need to make money anyway they can, just look at some of the women and what they have been selling for years, prime samples of second pincushions.
