Yeah read that, have to admit my first thought was that sounds like animal cruelty and you probably couldn't get away with now.

I can't look at that if there are pictures but if it's the one I heard of years ago that lived for more than a year after it's head was cut off that is pure rubbish - no head=no beak= no food intake = no nutrients to body = body dies. Pretty well instantly i'd have thought

The picture is not that gruesome. It was fed by dropper, apparently

Yep it was hand fed.

I found one in a commercial rearing farm many years ago that looked the same after getting its head caught in machinery but it was culled.
