buckwheat and pigeons

[kathyp]

i plowed up a huge area and planted buckwheat.  i waited for it to come up.  i went out and checked.  no much happening.  today, i found the reason.  the pigeons are eating the seeds that are left and i suspect the plants as they come up.

perhaps i will post pictures of the post hunt.  nasty critters.

No it's all dark meat and a nip of bitter to it, but it's still good eating.  When eating a pigeon you go for the heart (bigger than a chickens) and the breast and toss the rest, just like you would with a quail.
