... when one of the other chickens hopped up onto the grill and started pecking at dinner.

She didn't seem to mind that her feathers were burning and feet must have been hot as hell.

Bird brain.

The chef (me) grabbed the still-alive chicken and threw it about ten feet. It was a very hot chicken, but still alive, and went off looking for things on the ground to eat.

I had a friend that kept chickens. If she found a cracked egg in the straw, she'd toss it on the ground. The chickens would chow down.

At least that is the way with parrots in this house.

Ten years ago, different set of parrots sharing the same home, 4 out of 4 ate chicken but didn't care for turkey.
