Thanks for that Anthea,
Bravo to them!!
It is a shame that people who go in for quail shooting did not do this and leave the quail alone. Being a vegetarian I have no idea about the relative flavours but I do know that the Spotted Doves are incredibly easy to trap in a 'cat cage' or any sort of cage or crate, don't learn to avoid such things like Mynahs and some other sp do, are incredibly easy to pluck - the feathers almost fall off and have amazing breast muscles. I used to trap them for obligate carnivore pets I had and they loved them. It also reduced the number of birds stealing my chook food and spreading diseases and parasites to them.
