Making Pigeons Pay
Wendell Levi's book is about how to make make money raising pigeons. Not about getting revenge on them. Though the latter would doubtless be a more interesting book.

Browsing through his book, I learned that squab is the term for pigeon meat. (I'm sure most WU readers knew this already, but it was news to me). I've never eaten squab. Nor can I recall ever seeing it for sale in a supermarket, or on a restaurant menu. But it's readily available online, such as at squab.com.

A squab is, to be precise, a juvenile but no longer fledgling pigeon. AFAIAA, I've only ever eaten mature pigeon meat. It's rather nice, too. But don't use racing or town square pigeons for food... wood doves are much more like it.

There's a meme which shows the title page of "Ducks and How To Make Them Pay" and a review panning it because it doesn't provide any info on holding ducks accountable for their crimes against humanity, Earth, and God. (google "make ducks pay meme" for an example)
