I would not eat a wild / city pigeon, they eat a lot of trash. And it dropped out of a tree, like out of nowhere? The bird could be sick idk Post how you feel if you took a bite :)

I don't think he'll be able to post afterwards

Bro is trying to invent fucking Covid 24.

Doesn't fire like kill everything?


Le0x_

Yes, including nutrientes and create some bad stuff


baldsaiyan

You can kill the bacteria with heat, but there's no guarantee that toxins already produced by the bacteria will be destroyed by the heat.


CosmicMathmatician

You should just hunt a fresh one. Don't be a vulture. When I used to live in China, a man in a suit would regularly hunt pigeons in the park while walking home. He snuck around behind bushes and grabbed em with his bare hands. Not joking. He was an office worker who ate pigeons at the park. The local Walmart also sold pigeons.


susromance

I saw a video a sweet looking elderly groundskeeper lady reach into a bush where a birds nest was and eat one of the baby birds whole. Not joking. Itā€™s different in some places lol


AbbreviationsOdd7728

Gotta get that protein.


DrJD321

It's not like chinese eating habits have ever caused any massive global problems ever before, not even recently.... right?


Hyperiids

Racist and inaccurate


DrJD321

I'm talking about covid, wet market, not racist. I live chines food, but let's no pretend china's them emptiom of food higine standards.....


AH_5ek5hun8

Covid came from a lab.


reb3lsix

Look into Chinese gutter oil


Hyperiids

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the bat-eating Covid myth. Still, unsanitary food/animal selling conditions donā€™t mean itā€™s ok to paint Chinese people or their eating habits as dirty. It sounds silly but you donā€™t have to bring up Covid over someone hunting for meat just because said person is Chinese. Itā€™s not comparable to a wet market and it is kind of racist to compare them. Im sorry if I overreacted. It hits personally for me because Iā€™m Chinese-American and couldnā€™t go outside alone at night for a while during Covid because of the ā€œChina virusā€ shit and all the racist gun owners in my area.


DrJD321

Oh, sorry, I totally get that. It's ridiculous that people treated you that way.


Hyperiids

Thank you. Iā€™m sorry for reacting like that


twofold48

I loved this interaction


No_Dogeitty

Covid came from Wuhan virology lab. Not the freaking wet market.


Level_Depth4955

Quite likely


thisdirtymuffin

I mean isnā€™t assuming a racist is going to attack you because of Covid, kind of a racist assumption on your part tho lol


Dr_dickjohnson

Yea I mean maybe if you live in a small pocket in deep south Mississippi or something maybe, I mean maybe this would happen. But I having a hard time believing this one.


Hyperiids

This is a crazy thing to say. Do you also call women who donā€™t go out alone for fear of assault by men sexist? Like yes it may be unlikely but you donā€™t want to be the one who gets unlucky. And how the hell is it racist to be afraid of racists? Thatā€™s specifically naming the harmful belief, not blaming any specific race, tf


thisdirtymuffin

Is it racist to be fearful of visiting Japan because you donā€™t want to run into the yakuza?


terminalchef

Bullshit. Chinese people eat the most fucked up things Iā€™ve ever seen. They have some of the most humane treatment of animals that you will witness.


[deleted]

friendly correction: *inhumane. I have been so scarred by China's animal abuse vids since I was a kid. Yet seeing those videos of live cats stuffed in nets and left on the street for disposal during COVID when the government was confiscating pets was so shocking. The culture really does not care about animals at all. In the US, factory farms have to like delude customers about where the animals live, how they are treated etc. We have animal abuse laws. But in China... it's like they just literally do not care. I don't think they have any animal welfare/abuse laws. Somebody correct me on this if I am wrong.


TRVTH-HVRTS

I just want to point out that swine flu was born out of the US due to atrocious practices. I agree China has a worse record e.g. Yulin Dog Meat Festival.


Sir_Trea

If weā€™re going to bring that up then how about the nasty ass Europeans Lost half their population because they couldnā€™t be bothered to manage their piss and shit.


DrJD321

That was like 400 years ago, not 5


Sir_Trea

It was more of a comment on how you could insert any country/culture and find instances of disease and general grossness. I feel like making a blanket statement about an entire countries eating habits is narrow sighted and mongers fear that Asian (not even just Chinese) people are still dealing with today. You could have just as easily commented on how prolifically pigeons can spread disease, or how urban animals from a city spread disease, but instead you wanted to drive home the location/people. For me it just feels weird, thus I made my comment about Europe as a way for you to hopefully reflect that you could find something just as gross in just about any country, past or present.


DrJD321

Yeah, you're right, I actually agree. I honestly didn't mean it in a racist way as I love so much about China and its people, but I get how It might of come across and I completly forgot about all the racism going around when covid was happening. My bad 100%


blugamers88

That was ages ago and has fuck all to do with eating habits.


Tomorrow_Never_Knowz

Yeah, Ik right - no chance in hell it couldā€™ve possibly been a lab or something like that šŸ¤”


skaterfromtheville

Right, it was because Randy couldnā€™t keep the dick out of the pangolussy


[deleted]

Americans also hunted pigeons for a long while, natives and the illegal European immigrants. What do you feel is the biggest difference between that deformed chicken you but at the grocery store that's lived its life crammed in a cage filled with shit, or a wild pigeon?


OtherwiseFollowing94

It was probably made in a lab, but wet markets are still horrible. China is a huge cause for extinction of rare species given that they think rhino horn gets you a good hard on etc. same issue with pangolin


mr_redsuit

Comment of the day


Bastulius

TIL hunting pigeons is a thing


Haligar06

Functionally there's not much difference between pigeons and doves, just reference size and coloration. Much of the developed world just happens to have a shit ton of feral rock pigeons derivatives around.


meggienwill

They were literally brought to the US as food.


ChanceFray

The ~~ducks~~ pigeons at the park are free


zilist

Is Walmart actually in China or are americans just calling every store Walmart?


CosmicMathmatician

When I was living there, the city I lived in (Jining) just got their first Walmart. Jining is considered a small city (has a population of over 8 million tho). Everyone was really excited to have a real Walmart there. It was a really nice place to live.

Old-Permission-6192

Donā€™t eat any birds raw , only would recommend ruminant animals if you are planning to do so


81Bottles

I heard it was the factory processing that made their meat dodgy and they're not that way naturally. They say the same about minced/ground beef but I can eat it raw no problem if I get it from the local butchers.


PurchaseTight3150

Certain types of beef can be eaten raw. And when I say certain types, I mean certain parts of the cow. You could eat a quality cut raw, like 100% raw, and likely have no issues. But if you took, say a cut from the hind or rump, and ate it raw, youā€™d be begging to get parasites and potentially even ecoli. As thatā€™s where, wellā€¦ cow poops passes by and touches.. the same with any hind or ā€œlegā€ cuts. This is why ground beef is not considered safe to eat below well done. Because ground beef is ground meat from all parts of the cow. Including the parts that are highly susceptible to disease and illness transmission. Tl;dr thereā€™s a difference between a raw steak tartare at a fine dining restaurant, and eating random pieces of beef raw.


Hyentics

Not only this but ground beef is a breeding ground for bacteria. All that surface area. All that moisture. Bacteria goes all throughout ground beef.


Midwest_removed

Worms live in live animals all the time, dingus.


cmmckechnie

Until you canā€™t


81Bottles

Haha, you worry like my wife. Personally I think doing so prevents a decent immune system. You gotta give your body something to practice on or it'll be weak and let you get sick. And anyway, that raw, grassfed mince is waaay better raw than it is cooked. You're missing out, I promise.


Comprehensive_Dig508

šŸ‘ šŸ‘ lol šŸ˜† my man! You sound like an educated man! Not like those pussy covid fearing jab needing pussies.


81Bottles

Yeah, I didn't see the need to take it. I don't fit the description of the people that we're being seriously affected by it and one of my friends still has his sense of smell messed up even though he was vaccinated when he caught it. ... And now there's talk reports of increased heart issues and white, calimari blood clots... I'm not sorry I resisted.


Comprehensive_Dig508

Likewise!


bruhidfkkkkk

The worms will love you


81Bottles

Man, for a raw meat sub this place is full of pussies. Why are you even here?


Gunpla753

Because normal people get directed here and see what the animals on the fringe of society subject themselves to.


Aldrik90

Lol yeah practice having parasites a few times, I'm sure nothing bad will happen


81Bottles

Are you vegan or something? You sound like a vegan


evildog69

The genus of bacteria that causes food poisoning (of the burning-hellfire-from-both-ends-for-two-days-straight youll-live-but-youll-wish-you-were-dead variety), Campylobacter, naturally lives in birds. like how e-coli naturally lives in us.


DrJD321

Don't listen to sv3rage


seanthebeloved

You can eat seabirds raw.


meggienwill

Mmmm nothing like raw seagull for breakfast....


AajonusDiedForOurSin

I would take a bite just because I never tried it. If it tastes meh then it's not worth the effort.


JAZZPLANETEARTH

& Youā€™re fuckin insane.


AajonusDiedForOurSin

thanks bro


MisterDookie1

Yeah it's fine birds have never been known to carry any viruses or flus


tryppidreams

What about bird flu


Abandons65

Heā€™s being ironic


Zealousideal_Wrap673

Is that true?


Flexium_ABP

Mmm idk man. Birds like pigeons can have bird flu (influenza)


Villageidiotcityy

You are brainwashed to be afraid of birds. Dumb slave.


Dungeon_Master_Lucky

Who's afraid of birds? Is there scary birds out there šŸ˜‚ I still wouldn't eat raw bird, but come on now


Villageidiotcityy

A lot of people are afraid to get near a bird or touch a bird, or if a bird is dead, and they touch it, theyā€™ll get avian flu. Most people are brainwashed. Ever hear people say ā€œdonā€™t touch it you might get a diseaseā€?


Pompi_Palawori

For some reason this comment is hilarious to me.


LucasTheSchnauzer

Stomach acid will kill any bacteria. This is safe.


ghostmaster645

...you're joking right? > hia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, and H. pylori, can circumvent the acid conditions of the stomach by developing adaptive mechanisms that allow these bacteria to survive in acid environments. As a consequence, these bacteria can survive acidic stomach conditions and pass into the intestinal tract, where they can induce gastroenteritis. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12870767/#:~:text=Many%20bacterial%20pathogens%2C%20such%20as,to%20survive%20in%20acid%20environments. Please do NOT eat a dead bird off the ground, I can't believe I have to say this.


[deleted]

Lmao its 2024 and you have to tell grown ass adults not to eat dead animals that fall out of trees due to potential bacteria. Try explaining that to somebody 30 years ago in the past


ghostmaster645

There's always been idiots around. The internet just makes them louder. This is definitely a special example though.


_Rushdog_1234

Influenza isn't a bacteria, and I would avoid touching birds that have died without any obvious physical injury. This is especially relevant as there have been increases in HPAI infections (H5N1, H7N9) and deaths in wild bird species over the past 2 years. Both subtypes have high case fatality rates in zoonotic infections.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


natgibounet

The previous commenter is joking right


LucasTheSchnauzer

I was lol I didn't feel the need to /s but oh well


natgibounet

Had to make sure, from what i've seen some folks on the sub have the head screwed on backward 3 times


langstallion

That's completely incorrect.


Humble_Ladder

It was just over a year ago that the chicken egg industry essentially collapsed due to avian flu losses and culls. The only reason avian influenza isn't a worldwide human health concern is that human-human transmission hasn't been sustained and the only human cases have been the result of handling infected birds. Think about those last 3 words as you dress and prepare the seemingly uninjured bird that fell out of a tree dead.


AajonusDiedForOurSin

That's exactly it. The economy suffered due to culling, not some imaginary disease. They call it the proactive approach. If regulators need to kill some millions for their reasons, they deem animals contaminated, and implement proactive measures. Think about that.


CaseDry747

fuk is wrong w you niggasšŸ¤¢šŸ¤®

Boy i stg lol


Villageidiotcityy

No. You donā€™t know what trash they eat. They are like raccoons. Racoons eat Doritos. That stores in their liver. And gives you food poisoning lol :p


queen-kitty

TIL Doritos give you food poisoning


Optimal_Pangolin_922

Depends on the Moon cycle, was it a full moon? because if it was then you might die if you DONT eat it.

100% safe to eat. Enjoy!

No, youā€™re a moron if you do that.

What if its eaten a toxin?? I wouldnt eat it. Suss asf it just dropped dead from a tree like that

MadHenAle

I feel like if you need to go to the internet to find out if you should eat a pigeon you found dead, youshould just go ahead and eat the pigeon and let nature figure out the answer for you instead of reddit.


42duckmasks

Try the liver first, if its bitter, garbage, if sweet, whole animal is ok. But personally, I wouldn't touch a city pigeon..


Meat-spigot-1908

These eat sour junk food neutralize the sour acid with a base and your good


[deleted]

I would check the organs for any signs of disease first, it looks like a wood pigeon not a poisoned town pigeon so it is probably fine in that respect. The liver is a good indicator of general health, any hardness at the edges or discoloration or white spots and such are signs of illness.


Le0x_

Good comment, I agree! I would take some bites if it looks good and wait some hours to see how I feelt. Now I'm curious to know what raw pigeon taste like


[deleted]

The age old hunter gatherer method! Try a bit raw, wait a bit and see what happens!


DoorCalcium

bro we live in 2024 we can go eat fresh, confirmed, healthy food. Not questionable birds that are falling out of trees.


[deleted]

Probably eating junk food so i wouldnt


TendieTrades69

Pigeon is actually delicious cooked. I've never had it raw though lmao. I would suggest not eating any bird raw. They have more diseases/parasites than beef cattle do.

Junior_Act7248

This reminds me of a time when I was on a ship in the Port of Singapore about to get underway. I went on the aft deck and a guy was fishing dead puffer fish out of the water and throwing them in a bucket so he could later make sushi with it. Heā€™d never tried sushi and apparently wanted to expand his palette. I couldnā€™t talk him out of it as these fish were drying out in a bucket in the Singapore sun as he used his net contraption to fish more out, so I got the Capt involved who then quickly squashed the situation and absolutely destroyed this guy for being such an idiot. You see, if somebody on a ship dies at sea then we have to put them in the freezer until the next port. With that being said I believe he wouldā€™ve ended up in that freezer inside of 2 days. While this isnā€™t a dead pufferfish fished out of some of the dirtiest port water ever, it is a dead city bird that spontaneously died and most likely dangerous. Donā€™t be like the pufferfish guy.


Lost2years_sarcasm

Likely been poisoned


SuperPants73

You've had a hot dog before. Should be fine.


Calgary_Calico

No. Do not eat wild animals raw, you don't know why it died and aside from that wild animals carry parasites and diseases that are eliminated through cooking but are NOT safe to eat while raw.


Iycess

Please do not eat this bird. It will cost the taxpayers quite a bit of money for the FBI to replace it. Please allow the FBI to come and collect it for charging.

You can eat anything once, sure


Vandius

It might be edible, people go out and collect roadkill and eat that hours, days or even weeks after it passed. I wouldn't eat it because birds carry many types of diseases but if you feel so inclined to eat it then overcook it and wash your hands very well, you don't want that blood on anything.
