I did a large live bird pie for a hippie wedding long ago.  After long 
thought I ended up using a couple of my friends doves with clipped wings 
(they grow back) and a few chicks which made for a fun table.  The doves 
"flew" out a couple of feet or yards and the chicks either just sat there or 
jumped out onto the table.  Very entertaining.
Olwen who also did a "critter bread" for the wedding which was also very 
entertaining
