[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 3865359, member: 100731"]I got another one :) I was attracted to it because, lets face it, the bird looks a bit like an alien. The bird-sceatta's are believed to be an earlier type of the porcupine sceatta's. It's a bummer they are so expensive though (this one was €179...)
