I hadn't heard of eating a pigeon. Wonder how they taste? At any rate, eat what you kill, right? I figured pigeons were an exception. I have heard about pigeon shoots that used to be held around the town square in small towns, and always thought the exercise was more a matter of pest control. Same as nobody eats the rat they kill in a snap trap.
I have a hard time envisioning myself eating something that lives around the city because I assume their food source is a little rough. Squirrels are a prime example. No problem with a squirrel shot out in the woods, but I can't wrap my mind around eating one I've plugged while it was trying to get in to my roof. Probably no difference between the two, just a preconceived notion on my part.
