    Not they could. They do. You can buy squab in restaurants. Maybe stores but none I’ve seen.

      Though, you wouldn’t want to eat one you “recovered” from an urban area that’s had an unknown diet, due to all the toxins it may have accumulated in its body.

        Incidentally that’s also why you shouldn’t eat me.

          The alien invaders killing and consuming millions of humans in movies should be shown 5 years later or something. Trying to recover from all the shit they ate.

            I am from a very rural area but I’m currently in one of the largest metro areas in the US.

        I’ve eaten pigeons plenty times in my childhood. That my grandma “recovered”. But to be fair back then my neighbourhood was suburban-ish.

          Or even their crop (see below). Pigeons are known to ingest what they think are stones which stay in their crop and act as a grit which will grind down whatever is eaten.
