noone in their right mind would eat canaries, seriously wtf
blackbirds would at least be enough to feed a child in a meal lol... there is a famous english poem about eating blackbirds baked into a pie
but really, the only bird you see flying around that is worth eating is the pigeons and doves, i'd guess the doves taste better
also there is a lot of ducks and geese in the ribeiras, they would also be good food
anyhow, yeah, it's like i said, you can't hardly hear the canaries on the south side of the island except in the spaces between the towns, because of how noisy it is, but you will often see them, they feed on grass and weed seeds, i used to watch them over the back of my place in Sao Vicente when the weeds down in the field below my place was in seed
they eat little seeds, and yeah, you can usually find the feed that they like at most grocery stores labeled "canarios", it's made out of stuff like millet and other small grains
My grandma used to say that if there are pigeons in the sky, it's because people aren't starving enough. This came from a post civil war conversation
yeah, pigeons are a poor people food all across europe... you often see pigeon coops in the abandoned houses, there's loads of them in DayZ and Stalker games
