- Curtis Fagan knows the stigma that surrounds pigeons - that the birds are dirty. But the pigeon didn't fall out of favour for some as a culinary option, including this experimenting Calgarian.

CIA : "Sir, please stop eating our spy device."
It's wild you can grab a wild one and they won't even attempt to bite you. They are definitely gentle creatures
lol, every animal has a name.
ok today i am gonna eat "Karen"
XempireX18 hey that’s not Karen it’s Lila May!!
Bruh he names them and then eats them
@@zion2794 Sounds like he is keeping some for breeding, then selecting some for the dinner table. Why not it's a good source of healthy free range protein.
@@IslandExoticsHomestead lmao but why he gotta name them? I ate pigeon before. It just like a tiny chicken. Whai he gotta name them tho
If he is Calgary, is naming all of them Justin
This guy : I eat pigeons
Pigovirus (pee-20) : I’m on my way
Cooking removes most viruses, gutting, removes organs that could fester viruses
You don't actually believe Covid came from a bat, do you?
Why is this news??? People eat pigeons around the world -_- its common
It's definitely not common in Canada
Yeah but not the ones from the streets of big cities where they eat whoever knows what.
Nope..it's not common around the world.
@@jonatan01i They eat food scraps - literally food that we would eat ourselves. They are feeding on Doritos™ and pizza crusts which were meant for us.
@@princevesperal I wouldn't put my hands near my mouth if I touched anything, and you want to go straight to eating from the ground?
No problem eating them. They are birds.
Birds that eat garbage out of the city owned garbage bins!
@@annetteslife they eat food that people left and havent eaten*
@@annetteslife city is not an optimal environment for any animal to live in so pigeons have adapted.
This dude is awesome I’m just too lazy to go catch pigeons but seems like a good idea
proper British cuisine
Man when I was stationed in Germany we had this lady outside of the post that sold we people thought we chicken. They called it henchens I believe. Well anyhow I would get one when I came back to the post after a night out or returning back from Frankfurt. One night I stopped by the stand to get me a henchen and looked down and saw some pigeons tied up walking around the cart and I started looking at the chicken on the rotisserie and then back at the pigeons back and forth back and forth then I looked at the lady and she stared at me with these big eyes like crap he's figured it out. I cracked up laughing but I still got it because They were good😋🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣😂😂
It also makes you wonder about the BBQ joints, and why their prices are so low; I wouldn’t doubt that their are places that use wild hog meat
Omg that was great!
Different color meat
@@JosephGreen-yj1zv I’ve never seen 2 people cook chicken to the same colour and consistency, everyone cooks them slightly differently from their experience of what works
My brother used to eat them around the grain elevators in Minn. He said they were deish. I want one !
Is it me or He’s starting to look like a pigeon
He's even starting to eat like a pigeon, nodding his head back and forth while doing so.
@@LokimonWasHerelmfao 😂
Why the capital H on "he's"?
Idk why I’m watching this, I have two pet pigeons 💀
Were you looking for inspiration? Recipes, perhaps?
They are common here in the UK. Though we normally only eat pigeons shot in the countryside, not ones from the city.
@@ernestscribbler2294 agreed, is it also disgusting to eat ducks and geese?.....I think not.
not like you are eating the feathers and not cleaning them first. The chickens you eat live in way dirtier condition's.
gross
rainy luv I fully understand those that find it disgusting. I absolutely cannot stand celery. Everything about it is revolting to me, especially the taste of plant juice. ekh... not to mention the damn stringy bits!
Good idea in a famine though! Catch a few city pigeons and breed them! They are only dirty because of what they eat.
@@Plausiblelove you might get salmonella or a good dose of round up!
Y'all gotta remember these were bred for eating...
@ArmchairWarrior I think he meant in the beginning of pigeon breeding
i love pigeons too much to eat them
this moron says they are dumb, they definitely aren't dumb
I have a flock of wild pigeons that I feed at my place & they are smart enough to recognise me, they will follow me & fly to me when they see me
Some particularly will fly on my hand and perch on my arm if i put my arm out
Dumb animals don't do things like that
Only a dumb person would assume animals are dumb. Dumb things don't survive and do so well in the wild, even after their habitats have been destroyed
This fellow is helping keep cars clean. LoL
Why is this news?,?! People have been eating them forever. Haha
how is no one talking about this guy birdnapping pigeons? then he names them and eats them... oh my
Birdnapping? They don't belong to anyone...
Well, CBC News is talking about it...
After watching a cute pigeon for a pet, I decided to look up if people eat them. I don't know why it was my instinct. To each their own, however living in a big city I cannot dissociate them from the grime and filth of the city.
What’s next? Bat soup
Honestly don’t see a problem about this. As long as they’re healthy this is an easy way to get rid of a pest animal. Probably taste like pheasant
Exept if wants to get coronavirus or similar for this.
Marek Kolenda lol unless someone’s eating bats here I think we’re good
So what does pheasant taste like? Is it closer to rat or armadillo?
@@simplethings3730 Deeper, richer chicken. Has a taste all it's own really. Pigeon/squab is quite good.
@@ampleeeeeeeee I'm sorry I thought they said peasants😁
Mike Tyson has entered the chat.
Those birds are so yummy it will blow your mind... Chicken tastes terrible in comparison.
Yep
@Justin-ztd Most pigeons bred for consumption aren't eating what them city pigeons eat. It's just how they are - darker meat resulting in deeper flavor.
??? Pigeon is a normal dish in italy...
Nothing wrong with eating pigeons. They are just birds, like turkeys and chickens.
Every pigeon has a name. I'm having Bob for dinner tonight.
I love all the people saying it's gross. They are extremely delicious, if you breast them out and fry fast in a pan, you would think you were eating sirloin steak. To many people who haven't been hungry in their life. People will eat the embryonic fluid of a chicken, but wouldn't possibly eat a pigeon. Lol
A lot of people forget that the reason we even have this kind of pigeon in North America is because colonizers brought them over for the express purpose of eating them.
they don't know, they ignore it.
Vegans and disney addled twits don't know anything, so of course they're outraged
Their original part of the world was all around the Mediterranean Sea, nesting amongst the rocky cliffs. Buildings all around the world act as cliffs......
Man: Hello Pegion :)
Coronavirus: Hello, how do you do?
So that's why my secret message to Moscow never arrived.
I guess Fagan has never heard of COVID-19
No one ever heard of squab? 😂 I wouldn’t eat a city pigeon but barn or farmed pigeon is fine if you know what to look out for
Yeah. He said out in the wild but then went to a rail yard 😆
It's the other way around . Humans are the pests not the pigeons.
The frugality is nauseating
We've got novovirus from bats and influenza from pigeons
Birdflu from chickens
why is this a thing...a lot of you eat quail, turkey and CHICKEN!
but not you?
@@vladg5216 i et pigeons too buddy!
Yeah but those don't eat the junk from the street.
Pigeon is tasty. Nothing weird about it.
Specially small ones !
Ate one in Dubai w rice stuffed. Very lean dark meat . Not filling at all.
wtf how could you eat a poor little pigeon. Monster.
I prefer to microwave cats on high for 7minutes (or until golden brown). Quick easy and painless
We used to catch them and eat them. They are a clean bird
Not clean, eww
Right. If they're actually from the wild.
Pansy Wilson gross pansy
I think pigeons aren't actually indigenous to the United States, but were brought here in the late 1700's to be used as food.
They are so delicious and they are so many.
cool i never tasted it lol but they are not dump thats a fact they smart
The meat has to be slightly red, like duck.
Depending on the age of the bird, I would suggest no longer than 15 minutes max - maybe only 10 minutes on the breast.
With sweet and sour / fermented veggies, red wine sauce (use port) and mash potato with selery.
The mayor of Ottawa eats lots of bird...
Pigeon are no pest rather "birds of peace".....if you are a pigeon fancier and this video came up on your RUclips give this comment a like.👍
Just awesome....Just awesome
Probably thinks the flames are a good hockey team too...
The flamers vs the dolts.......
we used to have special castle towers for pigeon in the country side. the birds came and roosted there everynight. it had space for more than 2000 birds. they were only used for food in harsh situation like wars or economic crisis. those place were destroyed after WWII. now the people just starve instead. research this on Wikipedia. funny on how the reporter making this doesnt even mention.
Yes, and those pigeons are not even native to North America: they were brought from Europe by settlers, because they make good food! Those birds are not wild, they are marooned.
@@princevesperal glad to see a person aware of the situation. have you seen the news not long ago? they even started to sterilize them and give them food with special "medicine" inside so they stop reproducing. basically they are genociding the wildlife.
I prefer not to eat anything that has a name , it becomes to personal for me
Maybe you better not watch my last video😁
That's your choice. 😀
i will pass on that meal, thanks. 🤢
Bring some of them up to SAIT for a black box challenge
Does that bird need 45 minutes in the oven? That's how Iong I cook a roaster for.
In South East Asia, this is basically street food so it's not really an apprehensive act.
This and rice field rat. God tier
gross
This is how I handle Muscovy Ducks!
With food prices on the rise maybe time to look back at this practice . in an economic collapse, self producing sustainable foods will mean the difference between eating and starving. Just look at what's going on in Venezuela .
LAMOND HAUGHTON rabbits are good for this type of thing.
you do realize the CIA created what's happening in Venezuela right? You really thought the country with the most oil on earth is struggling because socialist policies? You really thought the CIA was going to allow a socialist government model to thrive on the American continents?
@@fafafohigh69 can you say...CUBA.
Pigeons are animals for wildlife not food for people to eat
I've never eaten pigeons before. Neither have I tried insect protein powder.
Ever have chocolate?
Then you have had lots and lots of bugs.
@@larryscarr1929 ketchup and figs too, like Fig Newtons
@@moonwolfdancer1103 wrong
Try quail or grouse
Zombie apocalypse. I'm eating pigeon ❤😂😂😂
Pigeon pie is a traditional thing in the UK...
There's a great RUclips series from English Heritage called _The Victorian Way_ with a reenactor playing the character of a cook in a large manor in 1881. One of the episodes is a recipe for pigeon squab pie, with an interesting way to decorate it...
Actually pigeons are really delicious like really its actually my fav
Stuff with rice boil then deep fried Egypt style
Are city pigeons safe to eat?
Mike Tyson would knock him tf out if he sees this video....lol. 👊
Fa real my friend....fa real.
Pretty inventive, this is something I would do. I should build a coop. Anyway squab used to be the number 1 poultry. Chicken was a luxury until industrial chicken farms and trucking took off after ww1. But there were always pigeons everywhere so if you had a shotgun a good meal wasn't far away. Birds breed fast and are summer game.
Psycho
It is cousine peruvian
I wish you could describe the taste more, I want to do Colonel Sanders recipe on those and serve a bunch up for a picnic
Pideon meat is a delicacy called squab
Interested how many birds this guy has now
slingshot is probably your best option for urban hunting... 22LR for nature
Looks tasty!
That’s how my grandpa use to text his dad
A lot of people going nuts about this guy eats pigeon. Seems everyone forgot in 2010's, there is a food craze about eating crickets. And eating pigeon and crickets isn't new.
What it taste like
have you tried Pigeon congee ..thats the best dish for these bird..
Pigeons are the livestock we laid off
Why dis video so many dislikes?
Cool idea 👍
I feel physically sick watching him eat it 🤮
Why? Just another fowl species
Lizica Dumitru Enjoy eating your dinner, Liz, hope it doesn’t fly off your plate.
Yeah yardsoup boil out🇯🇲
LMFAO 🤣🤣
this guy is a serial killer 😂
Pigeons are full of germs
Mike Tyson wouldn’t like this guy one bit.
😆😆😆😆oh god Evander Holyfield would be pissed if he saw this comment
I don't get it?
They sell it at the Walmart in Richmond BC.
Covid-20 coming in hot!!!
lol
Pigeon (hamam) is popular in Egypt.
When I was a kid . My grandma do pigeon soup . Great broth . Hard meat to eat .
Why are quails ok and pigeons not?
That's dope, but that coop needs work
They would certainly not be my first choice. But im not opposed to eating them either. Obviously since you do .I would appreciate it if you will share your favorite recipes in preparing them.
I would not oppose to eating humans, let alone pigeons.
@@cassius573 pigeons are fine, but humans???
Yup, that's Canadian a la west.
As a pigeon fancier, i do not approve this!
Pigeon pie is nice but not as nice as penguin or whale meat pies. A pigeon only feeds one but you can feed 4 easily with just 1 penguin and they are far easier to catch
Whale sashimi is God tier and heals many diseases
What a freakshow
Nice.
Just different customs
That's crazy
I want to pet pigeon but Im not sure if its allowed to pet them in residential areas(Red Deer Alberta). Anyone knows?
Yh I only watched this for the comments lol
