Oh right,I was reading about asil's not so long ago, unreal strength,they say their fights could last for days sometimes,obvious by pictures what they we're designed for,a lad I know tried keeping some red leg partridges in a large aviary,what a mess they made of eachother eyes hanging out on sockets ffs,no wonder they call them game birds atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
