Cats, dogs now pigeons.

[Harpotoo]

Tastes like chicken;-)

Squab. Delicious if prepared properly.

I saw this.

Rock pidgeons were bred to trust humans and now they are easy prey to guys like this.

[jimtorr]

Haven’t you guys ever had squab?

Squab is simply roasted young pigeons. I’ve never heard of grabbing pigeons for squab off the street, though.

Hemingway did this when he was dirt poor, in Paris. He’d stick dead pigeons into the baby’s stroller.

With the price of chicken so high, how else is a resourceful food vendor going to come up tomorrow’s menu special??

You can’t pass up good squab. It tastes like dark meat chickern.

Last month, a new halal restaurant opened here, on the University of Kentucky campus. Since college campuses are known to have pigeons and squirrels, now I’m wondering if those animals are on the menu.

So what are these people up set about the fact that he caught a pigeon.

Or he caught it with his bare hands.

I can’t count how many pigeons I killed in pest control.

They are very good to eat

[MayflowerMadam]

If he had a food cart, caught a filthy bird with his bare hands, i.e., no gloves, and continued to prepare food. That would be disgusting.

Pigeons are invasive species.
They can be killed anytime, by any means.
And, BTW, they are really tasty!

“she reported the incident to the city Department of Health. “
They immediately issued him a permit to sell chicken.

[Fireone]

I shoot & eat barn pigeons, once in a while, not so sure I’d be wanting those nasty city birds.
