Meh, I’ve eaten pigeons plenty times in my childhood. That my grandma “recovered” this way, from a back then suburban area. I’m still alive.
Comment on How to clean a rescued pigeon
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 2 months agoThough, you wouldn’t want to eat one you “recovered” from an urban area that’s had an unknown diet due to all the toxins it may have accumulated in its body.

Yeah, they could have microplastics in their testicles.

Or even their [crop](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_(anatomy). Pigeons are known to ingest what they think are stones which stay in their crop and act as a grit which will grind down whatever is eaten.

Incidentally that’s also why you shouldn’t eat me.

Are you from an urban area?

I am from a very rural area but I’m currently in one of the largest metro areas in the US.
