I have seen people eating wild rabbits here jn my area. They hunt them from the jungle,cook them like a spicy treat.... Here the tribal have all kind of taste. They even ate pigeons,...often they were in lookout for pigeons in the household....as said just for survival
I know a few who have eaten pigeons although it's not common here and I've never eaten them. I've eaten quail though, probably not unlike a pigeon only smaller.
