Then you have to dispose of it!

A reasonable disposal method is to pluck, gut, wrap in silver foil and pop
in the oven with the Sunday roast. The breasts are small but tasty.

The breasts are the only worthwhile part (IMHO) so we just tear them
off and cook them on their own. Much simpler, no plucking or gutting
etc,

Ove the past few years there has been a dramatic decline in the pigeon
population around here. At harvest time enormous flocks flying home in
the evening were common but not any more. Some put it down to farmers
herbicide. Ive heard it claimed it can upset their internal
temperature control system in some manner.

We have a few residents but also a local bird of prey who downs them
regularly. The Jackdaws hop around and await their turn while he/she
feasts.
