"We have to talk about a few rules before we open the gates....."
While the puppets of the Poetnix spoke, the crowd listened intently on each word. In their minds none of the birds on stage were cause of any concern. In fact to them they all appeared as lifelike as any other creature.
There was one who couldn't agree with this though. Far back, looking through binoculars, was a Christian.
