Vince Green Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I've eaten a worm omelette on a survival course. Don't ask what it tasted like I just put it in my mouth and swallowed it whole. I would be so useless on a bush tucker trial Back to the OP, four and twenty blackbirds in the original song were almost certainly young rooks. Rookeries were popular in the middle ages, as were dove cots. Edited May 2, 2016 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
