I live in an area where there are plentiful eagles and I never heard of anyone eating one. I kayak around some islands in a nearby river where eagles nest and frequently encounter people at boat landings inquiring about eagle feathers. The laws around that stuff are pretty harsh - I always figured them to be under-cover Feds.
- xattt 2y agoI don’t believe there are carnivorous and scavenger birds that are eaten for food.
- technothrasher 2y agoCrows are carnivorous scavenger birds that are actually eaten by quite a lot of people, at least here in the Northeastern US.
- antimemetics 2y agoThe beak is the best part!
- xattt 2y agoAre you referring to the colloquial idiom?
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoWe eat omnivorous birds though (chickens, esp)
- c_o_n_v_e_x 2y agoSandhill cranes are omnivorous and have the nickname "ribeye of the sky." I've never tried myself as I no longer live in the US, but I've heard they are very good.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoWow, they're beautiful birds I can't imagine shooting one. But... mmm... ribeye When I lived in Alberta we used to see huge flocks of them. I wonder if there's a way they could be domesticated for meat production. Probably not because migratory.
- kbelder 2y agoReminds me of an old joke about sick eagles that ends with the punchline "ill eagle feathers!"
- lazide 2y agoWell, it is a felony with significant levels of enforcement - not likely something someone is going to brag about and get away with for long.
