For that matter, how about a flying pig? Then at least outsiders will get the joke. You know, a slightly lean, brightly smiling, winged angel-pig with what might or might not be a curly tail. Hey, he could have a cape, like Super Pig. Think about it, you'll learn to love it. The key here is "cute." People don't want an ugly chicken-like creature that is clearly ready to attack at the slightest provocation. Octopi and ants may also be good, if they have wings. Have fun, Avery
