lakeside1000 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 My local game dealer- Bambridge in Norfolk- are only offering 10 pence for frozen pigeon, it would cost me more in petrol to take them in, with no return on time and cartridges. I heard of a dealer near Southwold in Suffolk who was paying decent money, can anyone give me a name or phone number for them or know of any other buyers for lead shot frozen pigeon in the Norfolk or Suffolk area I have around 300 with both freezers full so urgent I find an outlet for them, any help appreciated.

Did just that Woods, they didn't really want any this time of the year (out of season ?), but would take them at 15 pence so not great, they pay higher prices from September onwards, Looks like I will have to bag them up and take them to the tip, God I hate waste, Anyone in the Norwich / Great Yarmouth area want some free pigeons let me know !!!

GingerCat Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Turn some into burgers and sausages. 1 3rd pork belly to 2 3rds pigeon. You can use up a couple of hundred birds easily. The burgers are my preference and preferable to beef. Mince some of the rest up and add to beef mince with chillies etc. No need to tip them.

lakeside1000 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Marsh man, I will let you know once I decide what to do with them, I can only get another 20 in the freezers and I will be ram full, so I may have a few fresh for you if I cant empty the freezers soon. will phone you as and when, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 That’s strange as they are advertising oven ready birds at £4.25 each, and state available all year round...https://www.wildmeat.co.uk/collections/wood-pigeon/products/wood-pigeon-whole-bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
