PIGEON PARASITES

As the heading describes

After a fantastic night with birds mimicking every hard to hit bird, I managed to pull down 12 for 27shots, admitedly half were sitters but killing pigeons is why I am there.

After doing a full dressing session,I full pluck and split the back with a pair of secateurs, this being easier than the key hole surgery the wife performs, 'if I am lucky', this also serves to inspect the cavity for parasites, this being prompted after finding tape worms in pigeons, ducks and hares out of the same field.

On inspection of this particular bird I found

WHITE OBJECTS EMBEDDED IN THE BREAST BEHIND THE CROP MEMBRAINE aprox 1/2mm x 2mm probably 30 to 40 these extended through the throat tract into the front cavity, Naturally I have not included this for human consumption.

 

Any one got any ideas what these are and are the likely to be a problem to humans , ferrets or dogs.

 

Regards

Frank
