What about pigeons?.........squab is nice..............

I remember walking down a street in Manhattan years ago and seeing this guy, sitting in the open passenger side door of a station wagon, feeding breadcrumbs to a small flock of pigeons on the sidewalk in front of him. All of a sudden, he pulls out this net and throws it over the pigeons. He must have scooped up 20-30 of them, threw them into the back of the station wagon and quickly drove off.
I always wondered if they wound up in some fancy NYC restaurant as squab.

Many years ago, my favourite Chinese restaurant (in an east coast USA city I shall not name) was shut down by the local health inspector over problems with their Peking Duck.

Seems they were setting out bait in the alley, trapping wild ducks, and slaughtering them in the kitchen.

Too much authenticity?

Re my #39- I wonder if it was the same guy? Mine was on Second Avenue between 79th and 80th.
