pin Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Dazziboi asked for a clearer video on sorting out pigeon, went out and shot a few today (29 down for 34 shots in 2 hours) so I thought I'd do a clearer vid. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I did two, the first one I persuaded her to hold the camera. She's a veggie too Well, she did hold the camera but when the smell of the crop opened she looked away and the camera points at the floor for 30 seconds, she realises and moves it back until I split it open and then its back pointing at the floor I put it on the tripod, those don't get squeamish.

Country_est Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Good video looks easy, Just need to get some of the little ******* By the way bet the wife is happy you doing that in the house Once you've practiced it a few times, you can do it "blindfolded" so to speak. When I do them I can stick the bird and my hands into the bin bag and do it there and just pull out the crown. Never heard it call by this method always knew it as the crab method as it is simmial to cracking a crab. Nice vid though Pin, am at work at the moment so will have to listen to the comantary when I get home later tonight. Cheers Trev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Taking it in turns, one clipping the wings off and the other crowning you can get through 60+ birds in the back of a landrover in under 5 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzyboi Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Very good mate Next pigeon i get ill give ago. go back to the latest pictures i posted, the ones i crowned were done the other way, i done it the same as you but instead of putting my thumb in the hole i gripped the 2 legs and pulled, this would seperate the pigeon in 2 halfs. the breast would still be attached to the top half of the body, then i would just cut through the neck and pull out the breast. Your way seems alot easier though Were you doing this all in the comfort of your living room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Bit of practice and you will do this method @ 30 seconds a bird. I know it as the Greenway method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gully Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Nice video. I watched it at work with the sound off. Excellent hand gestures, I was guessing what you were saying. What's the advantage of having them on the bone? I tend to split the skin and cut each breast off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country_est Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Finally got to watch it with sound, great comentary Pin, just one thing I might add, that is to watch out that the heart sometimes get left on the inside of the breast bone. Gully, Advantage is no need for any knives so can be done any where. If I (the missus) is doing pan fried pigeon then its the breasts cut off, whith the crowns, we tend to chuck a few into the pheasant caserole on a sat / sunday and then have tehm the next day. esp on a monday for us as its a busy day with the kids running about and just heat up again in the microwave and they are great. Youngest one prefers pigeon to pheasant. Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Excellent video Pin I've been splitting the skin and pulling the crown up from the base, not the top. I'll give that way a go next time I get some. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
