flesh?<br><br>My brothers loved catching doves (called "lemoenduifies" or "tortelduifies")
in a chicken-wire covered bicycle<br>rim and my father did not object as long as they ate their
catch. They stopped their sport after a few times of<br>struggling through the tiny morsels. <span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span></span></font></span></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span><font color="black" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">Here in the western side of pre-1990 downtown Johannesburg,
one could order pigeon with orange sauce<br>at ethnic restaurants. By the late 1980s, the restaurants
started closing down when its patronage<br>suffered increasing numbers of car thefts. The story is told
that the pigeon population suddenly swelled<br>to such proportions that it prompted certain mining houses
to close up their inner building courtyards<br>with netting and sponsoring birth control for the pigeons. </span></font></span></p>
