Robotic chick brings you all the fun of 3rd grade science with none of the chicken nugget guilt

I can't be the only one who had baby chicks in her elementary school science class that hatched, looked sticky and fuzzy and adorable, then got shipped off to the farm. Sure, we learned about how little animals get made, but I for one couldn't face a chicken nugget after that. Then again, I've been vegetarian since middle school, so maybe I did learn a lesson.
What that lesson is: robotic animals are clearly better than real ones! That's why Think Geek is currently selling this robot chick, which apparently stands three inches tall and "cheeps, chirps, and flaps its wings in response to being petted." Well that's just too cute -- and feces free! Plus, it'll never grow up and turn into chicken breast.
Vegetarians + robots + cute = happy.
