In Illinois Central Illinois every rock is carved like a bird I have thousands that I found in farm fields and it doesn't matter how big the rock is or smaller rock is their carved I have big rocks at the end of my driveway as I look at them they're carved too everything is carved and now in that pile of rocks you showed that they put out of the farm field and they make the fence line or whatever I think I seen some carved ones there they're all birds and they're all missing tails and heads and sometimes they have a very nice stand I found a stand 6 ft tall with just the tail carved in it so the bird went up another three feet I'm sure but I was just wondering if you find a lot of carved birds you will find pieces mostly bodies sometimes there's small and big and all different sizes great video
