Both Dove and Pigeon taste good. Pigeon carcasses make a good base for soup. Or, you can use the entire cleaned bird for your soup.
Does that also apply to "city" pigeons? I have always thought that they and squirrels were riddled with diseases so have never thought to eat them.
Just something my grandmother used to tell me.........FWIW, she also told me not to eat watermellon seeds as they would grow in my stomach........LOL!
