La Fleche
Ah, if we only had a picture of this breed we could show you why it's called the Devil Bird! The La Fleche is a French bird with a V-comb (that look like horns, hence the nickname) and large white earlobes that is valued for its supposedly tasty white meat. It is reputed to be sort of wild, avoiding of human contact, a very active forager and a good flyer that likes to roost in trees.
