I'm not sure how I feel about this. Personally, I hate pigeons, and I despise the people who insist on feeding them.
But, i do have a policy of eating anything with four (or two) legs that isn't furniture, so I guess I'd have to give it a shot at least once, right?

When you look at a pigeon, you might see a dirty, rat-like bird that fouls anything it touches with feathers or feces, but I see a waste-scavenging, protein-generating biomachine.

Possibly the last great slaughter of pigeons in New York, of which we have record, was some time in the 70s. A flock had nested in Missouri in April, where they were followed by the same pigeoners, who again destroyed the squabs. The New York market alone would take 100 barrels a day for weeks without a break in price. Chicago, St. Louis, Boston and all the great and little cities of the North and East joined in the demand. Need we wonder why the pigeons have vanished?
That's right: Passenger pigeons were hunted to extinction because they were a popular food in the great cities of Restoration-era America.
Would you?
