Top 10 Best Birds to Eat

The Top Ten

  1. Chicken

    The chicken is a type of domesticated fowl and a subspecies of the red junglefowl. It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a global population of more than 19 billion as of 2011. Chickens are kept primarily for their meat and eggs and are found in nearly every part of the world... read more

    From wings to tenders to nuggets, chicken has us appreciating its former existence almost instantly after you've savored every last bite, desperate for more.

  2. Turkey

    The ideal Thanksgiving main course. Indulge yourself in a feast swarmed with the mouthwatering aftermath of a deceased endangered species.

  3. Duck

    Duck is the common name for a large number of species in the waterfowl family Anatidae, which also includes swans and geese. Ducks are generally smaller than their relatives and are found in both freshwater and seawater habitats across the world. They are known for their broad bills, webbed feet, and... read more

    The Chinese crave duck just as much as the ducks crave bread fed to them by park pedestrians.

    I myself haven't had the chance to officiate this spot on the list by testing its quality, but I'm sure it certainly tops alternative others further down.

  4. Quail

    A small, ground-dwelling bird commonly found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, quail are known for their distinctive calls and colorful plumage. They are primarily seed eaters but also consume small insects. In addition to their presence in the wild, quail are farmed for their eggs and meat... read more

    Considering its grotesque appearance, I can only infer it'd be similar to chowing on a greaseball drizzled in lard. There's obviously more to it than that, but a hypothesis isn't always necessarily accurate.

  5. Pheasant

    I don't really have anything to critique except for how boisterous they tend to get, even at the slightest drop of a hat.

  6. Goose

    The Canada goose is a large wild goose species with a black head and neck, white cheeks, a white chinstrap, and a brown body. It is native to Arctic and temperate regions of North America and is well known for its seasonal migrations. In recent years, Canada geese have adapted to urban environments and... read more

    There's nothing that'll persuade me otherwise when it comes to differing between the taste of ducks and geese.

    Not that I'd ever willingly subject my taste buds to such misery. They've been through enough ever since I ate the Scoville Scale's hottest pepper, the Carolina Reaper.

  7. Dove

    Pigeons and doves constitute the bird family Columbidae, which includes about 310 species. Pigeons are stout-bodied birds with short necks and short, slender bills. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plants, and are found worldwide except in the driest and coldest regions.

    Depicted as a symbol of peace, I wouldn't adhere to gorging myself on something so monumentally sacred in the Bible.

    After the flood in which Noah's Ark was trapped in such a catastrophic storm, the following day brings forth sunlight, and of course, the dove with the olive branch. God then promised there would never be another natural disaster so outrageous, using the dove to prove His claim.

    I think it's safe to say doves shouldn't be anywhere close to the food chain we abide by.

  8. Guineafowl

    I didn't even realize these peacock ripoffs existed until I ran out of ideas for more fill-ins for this list.

    What else is there for me to describe? I've finally completed the time-consuming challenge of publishing this as my first list of many, so I'm gonna be proud of the hard work and dedication I put into lodging everything together to form a rookie masterpiece.

  9. Ostrich

    The ostrich, or common ostrich, is one of two species of large flightless birds native to Africa. It is the only extant member of the genus Struthio, which belongs to the ratite family. In 2014, the Somali ostrich was officially recognized as a separate species from the common ostrich.

    One of the most aggressive and hostile creatures mankind has ever encountered, ostrich eggs might make for a primary meal due to their unbelievably massive size.

    Compared to, for instance, a chicken, these abnormally large dairy products house much-needed protein. Apparently, it's also legal in some parts of the world to own these vile beings as pets.

  10. Squab

    11. The Newcomers

    Toucan

    Toucans are members of the family Ramphastidae of near-passerine birds from the Neotropics. They are recognizable by their large, colorful bills, which are used for feeding and thermoregulation. Toucans are primarily frugivorous but also consume insects and small animals.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Crow

  14. Cockatoo

  15. Emu

    The emu is the second-largest living bird by height, after the ostrich, and is native to Australia. It is the largest bird endemic to the continent and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius. Emus are flightless and known for their speed and strong legs, which help them travel great distances.

  16. Swan

    Swans are large waterfowl belonging to the family Anatidae and the genus Cygnus. They're closely related to geese and ducks. Swans are known for their grace, strong pair bonds, and migratory behavior in many parts of the world.

  17. Common Loon

  18. House Sparrow

  19. Peacock

    The peafowl include two Asiatic bird species (the blue or Indian peafowl, originally from India and Sri Lanka, and the green peafowl of Myanmar, Indochina, and Java) and one African species (the Congo peafowl, native only to the Congo Basin). These birds belong to the genera Pavo and Afropavo in the... read more

  20. Puffin

    Puffins are three species of small seabirds in the auk family that belong to the genus Fratercula. They are known for their brightly colored beaks during the breeding season and their ability to fly underwater while hunting for fish. Puffins are native to the North Atlantic Ocean and breed in colonies... read more
