Wow


During the great depression my father did trap pigeons to supplement the
family food supply. That was a hell of a long time ago.

I believe Diana Rigg used to eat pigeon in the 1950s and 1960s, before
Patrick Macnee got her a good job. She became a gourmet cook to make the
best of the situation.



With my dad, they gave him a dime to go to the store for a loaf of bread
but the price had been raised to 11 cents and he could not get it...he
came home crying.

His father and uncle had an egg-selling route and would not be home for
several more days and there was not another penny to be had anywhere.

I think that is when the pigeon trapping began.
