A missing foot just isn't the ideal identifier. Although, when you have wings . . . maybe it's not so bad.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-9315204364370695102019-12-26T09:55:22.568-08:002019-12-26T09:55:22.568-08:00Years ago I thought I could.

Of course, I don't know how old he is now. I know he was breeding in spring of 2018 (that's when his foot injury was new).
