Catching bird for emergency food

[Tartar Horde]

Most Birds can be caught, shot and trapped quite easily and offer a wide ranging supply of meat. Some birds of the Gull and marine species have toxic livers and so should not be eaten (the Liver that is) Rook used to be a popular food in my area and "Rooking" was always carried out just after the young ones had flown the nest but not strayed too far. Personally I would not eat a Rook or a Crow by choice, but if starving I would enjoy every bit and fight for the bones. Blackbirds, Sparrows and any other small bird are all fair game in my eyes.
