Pigeon Catching

[Rush2112]

We had trouble with some pigeons roosting at my job- they are nasty. They carry some teenie tiny red bugs that are quite irritating when they get on your skin because you cant see them. Having said that, I would gladly eat them in a survival situation- easy to get and decent amount of quality meat. Every creature, including humans, carry desease and bacteria that may cause harm. I knew a guy that would catch them commercially(such as grocery stores). Told me he would use large wire cages with a couple small doors cut out. Set it out with some bait in the middle area (rice,seed,cereal,etc). The birds go in to eat, he would slowly walk up and close the doors. Says he would catch em by the dozen.
