Why grouse about the fate of a single bird? Perhaps the best plan of action is - take the bird out to the country and eat it there.


Here is a bipartisan solution

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush

A grouse in the hand is worth about two mouthfuls if you're lucky. Time you kill it, dress it out and cook it, that's a lot of trouble for something that just barely qualifies as an appetizer.

In China we tend to eat the whole bird...

Head, neck, feet...

It makes a good soup too...

My daughter is only 19 months old.. She would probably appreciate the snack

We are on the outskirts of the city, but it's still a couple of kliks to any real wilderness...

Anyways... One of my neighbors cornered it and caught the sucker...

At which point a minor discussion took place...

One of us (won't say which) felt that we should take the little fellow out to the countryside and set him free... Good karma...

The other (won't say which) pointed out that grouse is good eating and seeing as how it's not legal to hunt them this might be an excellent opportunity for some good food...

What would you all recommend we do?

I scrolled past the good wife one with difficulty thinking I might find something better. You know how I like my sammiches!!

As a redneck, I would turn that one puny bird loose to go out and make more puny birds.
Then I would go shoot enough puny birds to make it worthwhile to clean, an cook them.

That's how I mange the quail population here.......I let them live, then eat their children!

You gotta have several, unless you're a snacker.
Here in about an hour, there'll be about 20 around the horse feeder. It's breeding season, so I'll put out extra feed so I can eat them, and/or their children next fall!

That's what I said too, except I don't see how birds getting mange helps anything. LOL
