Why are so many of the birds around here missing all of their toes? I guess they don't really need them much; they seem to hobble around just as well without them. But still. Where do the toes go?

Is there some Clive-Barkerian bird horror collecting great heaping baskets of lizardy toes? Do birds chirp legends about this scissorman to their eggs?

If you cut off one of my toes (and I didn't have opposable thumbs to do something about it) wouldn't I bleed out?
