Yep, go knock yourself out. I’d recommend finding a good restaurant that serves it, though expect to be presented with a large bill.

Don’t you mean beak?

Nicholas Angel: Yes Mr. Staker, we’ll do everything we can. Can you describe it?
Peter Ian Staker: It’s about two-feet tall, long slender neck, kinda orange and black bill…
Nicholas Angel: Anything else?
Peter Ian Staker: Well… it’s a swan.
