What different types of birds have you eaten?

Chicken, turkey, duck, goose, and doves.

Chicken, turkey, duck. I don’t think I’ve ever had goose.

I’ve had chicken eggs, quail eggs, goose eggs, duck eggs. Not sure about goose eggs.

Ostrich, duck, quail, Cornish hens, turkey, goose and squab.

@Tropical_Willie …no chicken?

Chicken, turkey, duck, goose, swan, squab, Cornish game hen.

Pardon my ignorance, but what’s a squab?

Squab is a pigeon.

Why an exception for penguins?

@kruger_d I learned to be sensitive to our local penguin Jelly with such questions.

Chicken and turkey

@RedDeerGuy1 Thank you very much, kind sir!

Yes I missed chicken which I have 4 or 5 times a month. LOL

@Tropical_Willie You got chicken from “Cornish hen.” A cornish hen is a type of chicken. All cornish hens are chickens but not all chickens are cornish hens lol.

Chicken, turkey and Cornish game hen.

chicken, erdogan chicken, and pond-chicken.

Chicken of many types, quail, pigeon, duck.

Which did you like best Mimi?

I’ve had all the main ones (chicken, turkey, duck, goose), but I’ve always wanted to try pheasant.

I’ll pass on an ortolan bunting, or any bird so small you eat the bones as well.

@Dutchess there is a kind of chicken that only exists in my country. It doesn’t even have an English name. It is white with black feet. The meat is unlike any other chicken. It’s really tender and exceptionally delicious. I first came into contact with it when my mom was pregnant with my brother and she needed a frequent supply of canned chicken to get more nutrition. In fact, that chicken is so nutritious it’s actually an ingredient for traditional medicine.

Here’s a picture of that chicken

Quail and pigeon aren’t as good as they sound surprisingly. They are exotic, but they are so small it’s hard to eat the meat without getting some bones. Quails are better for their eggs.

I have had chicken and turkey. But I haven’t had those for a long long time. I don’t eat meat anymore.

@jca2 is correct. According to Wiki Cornish game hen is the USDA-approved name for a particular variety of broiler chicken, produced from a cross between the Cornish and White Plymouth Rock chicken breeds, that is served young and immature, weighing no more than two pounds ready to cook. Despite the name, the Cornish game hen is not a game bird. The name is doubly a misnomer because both males and females are served as Cornish game hens, meaning that many are not actually hens. Adult Cornish game hens are not smaller than standard broiler chickens; the size of cooked Cornish game hens is due solely to the very young age at which they are slaughtered (usually 4–6 weeks).

I ate some yard-bird last night.

Chicken, turkey, duck, and pheasant that my neighbor took from the fields across the road.
He hosts a dinner with produce he grows in his garden and wildlife taken from his property and the adjacent wildlife management area.

@Dutchess_III: Cornish game hen is chicken.

@LadyMarissa I googled it before I wrote above that it’s the same thing.

Chicken
Hen
Turkey

I have passed on dove, quail, duck, wild turkey, and goose.

I forgot, I’ve had pheasant several times. One time two brothers, that went to high school with , dropped off a couple pheasants at my house. My mom was home; I wasn’t. She told my Dave and Peter had given us the pheasants, she finished taking the feathers off and looked for buckshot and didn’t find any !
Dave hunted with bow and arrow and Peter was a .22 rifle hunter. Peter supposedly would shoot the heads off of the pheasants.

I got that @jca2.

@Mimishu1995 That gorgeous chicken is a “Silkie”. They’re usually kept as ‘ornamental fowl’ or pets. The earliest surviving written account of Silkies comes from Marco Polo, who wrote of a furry chicken in the 13th century during his travels in Asia.

I’ve eaten squab, chicken (incl cornish hens), turkey, duck, pheasant, and one christmas we had Cardinal. (KIDDING!)

When my brother was about 2 my folks had to rush him to the hospital because he was choking on a pheasant bone. My dad hunted them in South Dakota.

@smudges wow! Thanks for letting me know that chicken is actually known outside of my country. Here they are a delicacy. A meal with them actually costs a lot.

All this talk makes me crave for some silkie. Yum :P

Actually, Mimi, they are bred here in Kansas and kids show them for 4H at the county fairs.

@Dutchess would people there be horrified that I eat the chicken, since it appears they are bred as pets?

^^ Personally, I think they’re too beautiful to kill. Of course, other animals are, too.

Probably @Mimi
