 TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese firm is selling cyborg chicks that look and feel like the real thing -- but you don't have to feed or clean up after them.
The palm-sized, fluffy robots, named Yume Hiyoko, or "dream chicks", went on sale last week in time for the Easter holidays. They join toy maker Sega's line of mechanical pets that includes dogs, cats and ponies. The chick has touch sensors that trigger it to chirp or flap its wings when its back is stroked. It cannot, however, move. "I think it is good as a pet because you don't have to feed it and clean its droppings," said Masahiro Okada, a chicken farm worker who was looking at the toys.
