One of the grandsons went on a little pest shoot. Eating a few blackbirds and sparrow breast.
Eating what you kill

Not with an airgun, but this past February my son-in-law shot his first coyote while we were hunting Javelina. He skinned it out and we took the backstraps and hams home. He wanted to eat it since he'd killed it, so I told him to have at it! After cooking one backstrap and eating it, he said it was good, so I said cook the other one for me. While not primo moose or elk, it was really very edible and I finished the whole thing. I doubt I'll be looking to eat any again real soon, but who knows?

Rattle snake is as weird as I've gone. Blackbird and sparrow is wild. How did they compare to conventional upland game birds for taste?

Those sparrows look much to small to bother with unless you are dying of hunger. Good experience if you are the survival type or plan to join special forces. I'm a wuss city boy that doesn't eat any meat that's not stamped USDA. 
Yotes are really like dogs, which are eaten in many countries in Asia.

I'm wanting to try pigeon poppers sometime. Pigeon breast meat and cheese inside a pepper (minus seeds) wrapped in bacon.

When I was younger, early twenties, belonged to a hunting and fishing club. We had a yearly feast where anything with feathers, fur or scales. some of the dishes should have been left running free in the wilds.

While I admire the ethics of "eat what you kill" there's no way in hell I'm eating California Ground Squirrel!!! NASTY little rodents, but then, they probably say the same about me!

Trapped too many coyotes no desire to ever eat one. Have eaten raccoon, groundhog and pigeon, tried muskrat but couldn't get past their smell.
Grew up eating rabbit and squirrel I killed but wont eat possum, skunk, muskrat or any coyotes.
Pretty lived off deer as most red meat we ate for 20 yrs, made about everything from it.
