We have lots of starlings. You can make pies with them. Also rooks. The French eat EVERY form of bird. They'd fricassee humming birds if they were indigenous. But we are more picky. In fact we are SO picky these days we don't even eat the pigeons we shoot. We export them over the Channel. Terrible waste.
Wendy Cope says she has never eaten a barn owl. Neither have I. Hum! What about a bald eagle? With chips. Or a kookaburra?
