A deviation off the main track I used to live in a certain town. It had a bad problem with pigeons, aka flying rats. The town council called in a pest control company. As usual with small local governments, the time between deciding and doing took some months. Pest control came. Made a report to the council - basically 'What pigeon problem?' They counted only about 20 pigeons round the town. In the earlier months about 100 Brazilian immigrants had arrived, to work in certain local factories. The pigeons were free dinners for them. As were all the fish in the numerous lakes and rivers around the area! Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Mine to Mom made lots of them! Mine to Mom made lots of them! lol my daughter raises rabbits, just butchered five. Some of the best eating meat available. She started at the age of 12 and it was made clear they were for eating. She doesn't liek to butcher but she has no problem eating them. I think every person should spend a year on a farm. 20 hours ago, Samalan said: Mine to Mom made lots of them! you should try my bread and butter jalapenos slices. Friggin awesome.

Contributing Member fredk Posted April 2, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted April 2, 2022 This thread and today's date reminds me that I used to have a friend who bred rabbits for fun. He was an ex-submariner and had served during the UK-Argie Falklands War, which started 40 years ago today. Never called PTSD, he used to into his garden and pet and watch his rabbits whenever he was stressed out Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

It had a bad problem with pigeons Here we have a problem with Corellas atm , not quite the same as ' cockies' ( cockatoos) . The first pic is my top paddock full of them . They might fetch around the $2000- mark on the o/s black market, if thats the case there was a million bucks in my paddock. They are a pest , destructive, rip the shite out of the trees, sometimes cause power black outs etc....and they're protected. go figure? And the noise is deafening. I have ear plugs next to my bed. And never look up when they fly over you. The council hire licenced " removalists" if they get a lot of complaints. Right now, as I type, they making a bloody racket at the back of our house. But to stay on topic of food, , I have heard some of the oldies eating them in the very early days. Making pies out of them . Taste like chicken I guess . I've heard of pigeon pies as well.
