Hang it in the feather for a week at a temperature just above freezing.

 

Some say hang them by the tail feathers until the body drops to the floor.

 

There is the key to moving this bird from average or below to absolutely outstanding. Flavour and texture of the meat improve drastically although if the temps are much above freezing, a week is a bit longer than I like. 3-4 days is more like it.

While our opinions differ slightly we are definitely on the same page! :D

We used to eat pigeon a fair bit as kids. All part of being poor, back then :) Probably costs a fortune now, if you buy it.

 

I can't remember how it tastes. Might need to dust the air rifle off and give it a try again.
