Oh so gross! I try to keep an open mind, but in my Western mind pigeons
are just the most disgusting creatures and I can't imagine ever eating
them. I know that they're a perfectly fine source of animal protein, but
to me pigeons are nothing more than shit machines, created by the gods to
unload poop on pedestrians walking below, or on my car.

A story about eating pigeons is from a Dilbert comic strip. In the story
Dilbert is summoned to appear before the accounting trolls who ask him why
he dared to bill $10 per day for meals during a business trip when the
accounting guidelines required him to stun a pigeon with his briefcase and
cook it on a travel iron. Dilbert responds that it was taking too long,
to which the accounting troll replies that he needs to use the wool
setting.

As for pigeons, I despise them. I like all kinds of other birds, but as for
pigeons I deliberately aim my car at them and gun the motor and try to run
over them - I've succeeded twice.
