People pay really good money for ‘squab’..................
City pigeons are very easy to catch too, since they are so conditioned to being around humans, you can get very close to them before they’ll try to flee. And they can only take off straight forwards, so you just walk up behind them and throw a net/blanket in front of them and they’ll fly right into it.
Sadly, birds tend to taste like what they eat and I’ve seen what city pigeons eat. Squab a la Marlboro lite doesn’t sound that appealing.
