I love a Lil 'Pigeon. I kinda sorta have a pet one. He’s a wild boy. But will come take food from me. Not exactly from my hand. He hangs out with the crows around here. While they’re theiving song bird food.

It’s according to how hungry I was. Whether or not I could kill him.  
I could butcher most critters.

I don’t wanna though, don’t make me.

They’re very easy to overcook, I hear. Kinda like quail.

I put eating city pigeons up on the list of why I’d never eat cat meat.
