That’s barbaric
Not much meat on a songbird, but to the French who enjoy snails, they might be worth the trouble.
Robins used to be eaten here in the US especially in the south, though they probably taste like mud since they mostly eat earthworms and berries. Plump passenger pigeon squabs, not songbirds, filled many commercial markets here until their extinction.

True dat. If they REALLY want to save songbirds they should have a mass killing of all cats in France.
