Gravy. oh sorry Gravinder (got carried way there with all the talk of hot food)

There are lots of pigeon recipes out there if you Google.  Everytime I see a pigeon on my plot I picture it belly up covered in peas  ;D  They are getting to supersize proportions, so fat they can hardly take off  ;D  Squirrels too are getting pudgy as well.  Not enough predators praps.

Sorry if on wrong link Eileen.  Please forgive  :) :) :)

Oh no!!!!!! ;D
however do you think a good roasting would get rid of the rabies? I'm worried that his friends might also have contracted the disease.

You forgot to include a "sod off" category to tick.

You should have included at least an 'alive' category for us veggies.

Just out of curiosity Gravinder how do you intend to persuade the wood pigeons that they'd be better off in your oven? ;)

I think you should get out of The wildlife forum and get into the right area  ::) I like to see my pigeons in harmony with the rest of nature.

Sorry Gravinder, not by my standards. 

Although some people (like myself) think they are pests, I believe wood pigeons are best seen roosting and enjoying life in the woods/parks, or wherever they like to be.

Long live wood pigeons !  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

Enjoy today to the full.  You are not sure of a tomorrow.
