    People used to routinely eat just about every bird there was. The only reason nobody bothers with songbirds is that they’re too small to be worth a damn. Remember the passenger pigeon? The extinct one. Yeah we literally ate that into extinction.

      Fair enough. Although I don’t think you’d need to bother with the songbirds in this instance seeing as you’ve been gifted a years worth of geese, French hens, and milk. Unless you’re required to feed all the other various humans you’ve been gifted as well. I guess then it would be time to crack into the turtledoves.
