Sorry - rooks...
Bunch of Rooks...
Or a Wookerwe if you've got a lithsp...
They were half an inch thick (12mm in acordance to EU law) and their insides were on the outside. Didn't think it was necessary.Quote:

Whilst we are all showing off our love and knowledge of natural history, I can also report that Rook flesh is rather like pigeon, very dark and high in protein, not a bad food for young falcons, especially if your training them as Rook Hawks (watch out for ticks though).
Tastes similar to pigeon and not as strong as Coot or Moorhen - misspent youth with guns / hawks and not beer / cars (what was I thinking of) :-/
G :)
PS. I’m sure birds or other mammals can’t catch Myxomatosis.
PPS. I've seen lots of birds falling from the sky in my youth although usually shortly after hearing a sort of loud and mysterious bang ;)
Funny as Gerry ;D ;DQuote:

However, the thought was instigated having nearly lost a Retriever which became very ill after she eat part of a dead rabbit - hence the connection in my mind. Should have referred to poisoned rabbits... :D

So - you didn't take a close look..?
How are you so sure they are rooks..?
Coruvs frugilegus has a more pointed beak while Corvus corone corone has a more blunted one. Everyone knows that. I guess I can understand how some people might confuse them, but come on it's not that hard.Quote:

So there's a beak difference...
Did you actually stop to confirm the beak difference - or did you keep moving - because - as you said - you were a bit freaked out...?
