This Calgarian eats pigeons, and says they're delicious

Curtis Fagan knows the stigma that surrounds pigeons — that the birds are dirty. But the pigeon didn't fall out of favour for some as a culinary option, including this experimenting Calgarian.

CIA : "Sir, please stop eating our spy device."

[DigitalDuelist]

It's wild you can grab a wild one and they won't even attempt to bite you. They are definitely gentle creatures

[Dad-luoi]

No problem eating them. They are birds.

Man when I was stationed in Germany we had this lady outside of the post that sold we people thought we chicken. They called it henchens I believe. Well anyhow I would get one when I came back to the post after a night out or returning back from Frankfurt. One night I stopped by the stand to get me a henchen and looked down and saw some pigeons tied up walking around the cart and I started looking at the chicken on the rotisserie and then back at the pigeons back and forth back and forth then I looked at the lady and she stared at me with these big eyes like crap he's figured it out. I cracked up laughing but I still got it because They were good😋🤣🤣🤣

Honestly don’t see a problem about this. As long as they’re healthy this is an easy way to get rid of a pest animal. Probably taste like pheasant

A lot of people forget that the reason we even have this kind of pigeon in North America is because colonizers brought them over for the express purpose of eating them.

This dude is awesome I’m just too lazy to go catch pigeons but seems like a good idea

[CatHairSoup]

Is it me or He’s starting to look like a pigeon

[Sheena]

It's the other way around . Humans are the pests not the pigeons.

[kixlm]

Idk why I’m watching this, I have two pet pigeons 💀

[sulkoma]

i love pigeons too much to eat them
this moron says they are dumb, they definitely aren't dumb
I have a flock of wild pigeons that I feed at my place & they are smart enough to recognise me, they will follow me & fly to me when they see me
Some particularly will fly on my hand and perch on my arm if i put my arm out

Dumb animals don't do things like that
Only a dumb person would assume animals are dumb. Dumb things don't survive and do so well in the wild, even after their habitats have been destroyed

I love all the people saying it's gross. They are extremely delicious, if you breast them out and fry fast in a pan, you would think you were eating sirloin steak. To many people who haven't been hungry in their life. People will eat the embryonic fluid of a chicken, but wouldn't possibly eat a pigeon. Lol

[RoyalCaymanian]

This fellow is helping keep cars clean. LoL

They are common here in the UK. Though we normally only eat pigeons shot in the countryside, not ones from the city.

[rainriderpnw]

My brother used to eat them around the grain elevators in Minn. He said they were deish. I want one !

So that's why my secret message to Moscow never arrived.
