Vermin (flying rats) or a cute every day bird ?

An associate of mine was sh1t on one whilst walking through town last week. This rather annoyed him. Being the vindictive type,he bought a high powered pellet rifle and calls off at an old railway bridge on his way too and from work to exterminate a few on each occasion.

The total stands at 22.

Not sure where i stand on this one.

Vote in favour here!!   The breasts are absolutely delicious - pan fried really fast.   You needn't even pluck or draw them, just run a sharp knife along the breast bone, peel back the skin, feathers and all, and strip the two breast fillets off and throw the rest away - takes less than two minutes

blackbarn correct. Try to find someone who keeps racing pigeons, the birds are always fed the best stuff and exercised but the ones that don't make the grade are the ones for the pot.

We have a pair of 'woodys' that nest in a very small tree in our garden, seems too small a tree but there you go. No bother at all, no Shoite anywhere to be seen strangely!

Why did they migrate? Was there a military coup in their own country?

Couple of days ago the cat got a pigeon in the garden, didn't kill it but it was very badly mauled, no question it was a fatal injury, feathers all over the lawn, was bleeding and it couldn't fly it could only flap around. Obviously the kindest thing to do was to put it out of it's misery, but how do you humanely kill a badly injured bird. Never had to do this before, but how exactly do you dispatch the bird instantly and painlessly (?)

I know to dislocate a birds neck is one method - but being very sensitive to animals - my main concern was making a mistake and cause even more suffering. Or a quick blow to the head with a spade might be an effective method but couldn't do that either for the same reason.

In the end, put it in a box and took it to the vets, which only took about 15 mins, and they treat wildlife free of charge. (although wasn't bothered about any cost I would have paid.) But thought a vet was the far better option. I know it's JUST a pigeon, but as an animal lover I can't stand seeing animals hurt or mistreated.

Same with pheasants.  Stand on the wings and pull the legs up to rip the breasts out perfectly.

I'll go along with that.

I prefer to cook pigeons whole, wrapped in foil, on gas mark 4 for about two and a hours.

Whenever I go into town and see the resident feral pigeons I look up at them and see dinners.

If you're squeamish about breaking it's neck, behead it swiftly with your spade.

Digressing my dad used to keep racing pigeons and he always used the lingo associated with the descriptions of the birds i.e checkered hen,red hen,blue c0ck,dark ****,pied hen etc. and any combos in between.
Well last year my dad told the story which I didn't know about when he was asked to take a batch of pigeons to a local primary school as an educational show and tell in the 80's,long story short my dad didn't think to rein in the lingo or make safe choices with his exhibits.
He took a blue c0ck,a dark c0ck,a red c0ck,a pied c0ck and a checkered hen which as you can imagine caused a stir amongst the kids and major embarrassment for the young female teacher who had to mouth the word c0ck when explaining to my dad what was wrong Grin

got to watch you don't dislocate the shoulder instead using this method. There's a fine line and the unlucky bird ends up cursing its luck.

My old man used to drown them as they suffered least and since most of the birds that were to be culled were in ill health or runty types they died quickly.
