Many claim that birds are dumb. Well, I once had a chicken as a pet, he/she (never found out because we gave it away too early) was very intelligent, just like a cat or dog. He was also very affectionate to me and followed me everywhere and loved to cuddle up with me. I miss him so much and everytime I think of him I cry a little. I wish I never let my mom give it away and have to live with the guilt that it might have ended in someone's frying pan. With that being said, chicken is the meat I eat most often and if I get to order chicken wings on the wing night, I eat like 50 of those at least (25 chickens, wow). I still have to say I miss my chicken though.
