They used to trap songbirds all over southern europe, they used to put up nets to trap them. They are regarded as a delicacy. Its illegal now but no doubt it still goes on.
I remember watching a program on tv about this. I can't remember the whole program, but eating these small song birds involved serving the whole bird up in a small pot and in order to catch the aroma of the cooked bird they all put cloths over their heads whilst they ate the whole bird. Yuk!

Or how about throwing another kangaroo steak on the barbie.? Oh yes,,along with emu steaks,,they are sold in butchers shops in Australia.
Little song birds are a delicacy in the Far East.
I hasten to add that I wouldn't eat any of them.
Together with snake skinned alive on the spot and cooked and fried locust type creatures.

Susan, those bunnies looked much more appetizing, and less recognizable, than when my cat bought them home. But I can't eat veal.

Grahame,,I can remember my mum saying that,,because we were great rabbit eaters years ago when they were 1/6,,,,and as soon as she'd said that,we stopped eating them,,as well as the myxomatosis scare.
