GAME: MindTrap

When a lady purchased a parrot, the salesman assured her that it would repeat any word it heard.

About a week later, she returned the parrot complaning that it had not uttered a single word.

Given that the salesman had spoken the truth, why wouldn't the bird talk?

some type of poultry. you pluck all the feathers and pitch them and cook the meat which was inside the feathers. then you eat the meat and pitch the bones inside the meat?

really I guess it could be any animal that you skin or pluck before you eat if my line of thinking is correct.
