Redpill me on game nitds. Why choose chicken and turkey to eat

>>8823161
Predators don't taste good

Bwars and dogs do. Also, they could've chosen cockatiels or cassowaries if that was the case.

>>8823161
predators don't make sense as a food source since in order for them to grow to maturity you'd need to feed them meat
chickens would never be viewed as majestic beacuse humans have an innate sense of aesthetics. chickens are neither graceful no powerful

>why choose chicken and turkey
They're domesticated, thus way easier to get and more numerous. Also lighter meat and mild flavor- not everyone likes the stronger flavors of game.

>why not raptors
Pure carnivores rarely taste good. Plus imagine having to hunt birds that spend most of their days at (comparatively) really high altitude, circling on thermals- especially before modern firearms. It's just impractical unless you happen on one that's landed, and you can't reliably do that. As an added bonus, raptors are higher on the food chain and thus less numerous.

>parrots
Not 100% sure on this one, i don't know a lot about the behavior of parrots in the wild. Hard to get maybe?

Galliformes are

- easily bred to flightlessness or near flightlessness
- can be adapted to live off a wide variety of diets and environments
- make a lot of fucking eggs
- Egg binding is low risk in such big species. Egg binding is high risk in smaller parrot species like cockatiels.

Also, we do breed gamebirds. We do breed squab. Pigeons were domesticated earlier than the chicken.

>it's still drier and tougher than an overcooked chicken breast

So what you're saying is that even though you tried not to overcook it, you overcooked it anyway?

I'll bet your dumb ass didn't even bard it.....

Good ingredients are wasted on people who can't cook.

I hunt grouse and it's fucking delicious.
Kind of like a bit drier but tastier chicken.

The usual trick with game is to marinate it and add lots of fat when cooking it or making a stew.

Pic related.

No, you retard, I cooked it to exactly 65 C which I verified with a Thermapen. Some meat is just tough.

And barding is literally whatever is the 200-year-old equivalent of reddit.

Opinion discarded.

It's one of the best ways to cook game you fucking mouthbreather.

Chickens and Turkeys are just domesticated, so they're easier to breed and handle than their wild relatives.

Since hawks and other raptors are carnivorous, you need to raise another animal just to feed the hawk. Why not cut out the extra step and just eat the animal you would have otherwise fed to the hawk?

Now parrots, I'm not sure about. I think it may have to do with sexual maturity. Parrots take a few years to reach sexual maturity, while chickens only take a couple months, meaning it's much easier to quickly breed chickens for food than parrots.
