I'm glad to see the pipers get a bump there. Tough times in Piperville.

Looks like everyone is making the same or less. ;)

Where the hell did those numbers come from?

I have a hard time believing four canaries cost $600.

Also, $13,125 for seven swans????






Just checked prices for mute swans...JFC:3_eyes:

At Mallard Lane Farms, bottom of the page.

You pay more for the quiet. Noisy swans can be had fairly cheap, so I've heard.

How much are ugly ducks, I wonder?:rolleyes:

Dunno about ducklings, but ugly chicks?





Cheep.
