Birds are a type of feathered dinosaur. Now many paleontologists are contending that all dinosaurs were feathered to some extent or another, just as all mammals have fur. Meat-eating theropod dinosaurs were very feathered, had stereoscopic vision and had chicken-like feet. They didn’t all go extinct after that massive asteroid impact. That asteroid was six miles across, and its impact was equal to the energy of 300 million nuclear weapons; it created temperatures hotter than on the sun’s surface for several minutes. If we don’t stop having wars and ruining the environment, we may well follow in the footsteps of those that didn’t survive. We need to do much better.

you are completely right, Thomas. Hope you are not tilting against windmills. I love these chickens, they are beautiful. Regards Mitza
Thanks, Mitza! These chickens were beautiful, but weren’t very smart. I’ll have to do a post on our parrots one of these days. They’re another story.
