[:D] Tasty little beasts! I also love turkeys!
Damn, I'm getting hungry...

I remember hearing somewhere that in some parts of Germany pigeon is a delicacy. Any truth to that?
Squab (young pigeon) is a delicacy in many parts of the world. [opinion on] They're all nuts there, because pigeons / squabs are nasty [opinion off].

We called 'em "yardbird" in the USN and always greeted chicken served in the galley with cries of, "yardbird tonight!" [:D]

Look at the bright side. There's no danger in commercial broad breasted turkeys escaping into nature and fertilizing the local 'wild turkey' population. They're an evolutionary dead end. A very tasty one too.

In college I worked in pet stores, and I've been around tropical birds pretty much all my life, so yeah I understand the problems with Macaws (and their ability for wholesale destruction). If I had one, it would be after total retirement, in Florida, with a semi-outdoor aviary. It's the African Grays I can't handle. Those bloody things scream worse than a banshee! (Either the jet or irish kind!).

But you must admit that there is something neat about a bird that can call and terrify a cat! [:D]

We had a moluccan cockatoo for years that had no fear of our cats whatsoever. Or our dog. The cockatoo would intentionally bait them to come close to his cage when he was outside of it. When the dog (in particular) ambled over to lick up some seeds or goodies that the bird baited it with, the bird would flare his wings, extend his crest and shriek from above. Nine times out of ten it scared the **** out of the dog. The cockatoo would also bait or 'ambush' our cats, in the same vein.

Not a lot of survival instincts in that bird...

I know pigeons were eaten in Leningrad during the blockade. It didnt catch on. Unlike some other starvation measures like poison ivy and beet stalks. Never had any myself, but I've heard that poison ivy makes a tasty soup.

Maybe. My Mom had a pekingnes with the same attitude. Till the day she took on an St. Bernard with a urinary problem!


I had in mind a military mawcaw. Six fooot wing span and a beak like an electric can opener. But I think a lot of the tropical birds seem to use agression as a defense. I had a cockatiel (basically a parakeet on steroids) that used to beat up my Samoyed![X(] And even ride her on occassion. [X(][:D]

Dont get me started on dogs. Quite a few species are a poke in Darwin's eye. Dont know much about swine, but if I understand correctly, I think most bovine can still "hold their own" as it were.

Those are kind of understood to be sterile. Its not that they physically cant match the plus to the minus.

No, you probably aren't aware of the differences in dairy versus other bovidae from a production / reproduction standpoint.

A long story, but suffice to say that free love is not a part of the bovine production world any longer. Shorthorns, longhorns and polled herefords=you will be killed if you try to milk 'em. You will also lose your business-these breeds are not developed as milkers. Gurnseys, Holsteins make poor steaks, nummy milk. The latter are almost exclusively artificial insemination, the former much more rustic reproduction methods. Viva la differance!

If we start heading down the Darwinian selection path, then you've got to be willing to wave away a good chunk of the human population and many species as we know them today. I ain't going there.

we call pigeons "winged rats"...

And chickenboy is right. This one turkey race is disgusting! I often eat turkeys that are fed at local farms where they ran around in the fields!
