I wood eat one of your pigeons but eating one of my own pigeons would be like eating my dog.

the way things are going with this credit crunch, we may be glad to eat a few. Mind you, I have been wondering why I never get lost birds reported. Could it be that someone is eating the poor little sods???

lots of farms had pigeon towers , full of pigeons used the manure for the fields but it was the squabs they used for eating.

most of what we eat today is pumped up with steroids and anti biotics so i would not worry about it   :)

 

thats a good point....but i think anyone eating their birds should check labels of medicines they've used. the 'coxy' medicine i use states that the droppings from the birds should not even be used on ground that grows crops.

no vaccinated bird should be eaten, if you value your health.

Yep love wood pigeon pie. Many do, will therefore take the birds of you to eat them.

Just after, and obviously before and during, the war years, the ferals helped fill many a plate.

A lot smaler and less meat of course than a woody. But then 4 and 20 blackbirds to a pie. (Rooks acyually) was / is a great delicacy. and Very well had often even now. Like wise the common blackbirds etc. Was a time when 'Netting' the ivy was popular for the smaller birds like finches sparrows etc. And the French will - like the Italions I believe - will eat any bird they can catch.

Wood pigeons breast today are just mixed with sausage meat and eaten. Me, well I perfer two to a pie WHOLE. No pne has ever been able to eat a wood pigeon a day for 7 days, too rich for the system.
