Brace of Whole Wild Pigeons

2 x Whole pigeons - A sustainable, lean and delicious addition to our range of game!

Unlike our other game birds, Pigeon is not reared for sport. It is, in fact, considered vermin. Capable of decimating crops, it is hunted out of necessity to protect our agriculture. This makes pigeon arguably the most sustainable of all the meat available to eat in the UK. Pigeon spends a greater amount of time in the air and works its muscles harder than other birds, it is this reason that it resembles the other darker fleshed game like duck and goose. A brace of pigeon can be served with some lovely mushrooms.

*This product may contain lead shot. Eating lead-shot game on a frequent basis can expose consumers to potentially harmful levels of lead. Those who eat lead-shot game should minimise the amount they eat, especially for small game animals.

Lead-shot game refers to Pheasant, Partridge, Deer, Goose, Wood Pigeon, Woodcock & Rabbit shot for food using pellets or balls made of lead. Eating lead-shot game meat on a frequent basis can expose you to potentially harmful levels of lead. To minimise your risk of lead intake, if you frequently eat lead-shot game meat, particularly small game, you should cut down your consumption.

Exposure to lead can harm the developing brain and nervous system. So cutting down the amount of lead-shot game eaten is especially important for:
