aga man Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Certainly a lot of pigeon meat going somewhere. When i took our birds to gamedealer last night straight from the field at 7pm the larder where we leave the birds in crates was a wash with pigeon feathers! A while since i have seen it like that.

ElvisThePelvis Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 It's a shame more people don't eat it though, the pub has stopped taking it as no one wants to eat it, game dealer told me that 80% or more goes abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 A few local butchers ( in delicatessens) do the full on plucking job and sell whole birds at just over a fiver each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 France and Belgium have always been the biggest market place for pigeons. My Game Dealers also supply the "Farmers Market" outlets and the crowned pigeon go down very well, especially in the London area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
