Are sandhill cranes edible?
yeah, but they are a little tough and taste sort of like Mexican Spotted Owl
Most living creatures are edible. That being said, it doesn't mean that A) It will taste good or B) you will like it. However, there is an old saying that says, Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Now, if a person needed to eat one in order to survive a dire situation that's one thing. However, just to kill it and eat it out of curiosity is another thing. My suggestion...eat chicken (haha) besides most mystery meat is always said that it tastes like chicken. Another thing is that if you choose to mess around with wild birds, there's no guarantee that they don't have diseases like Avian bird flu. Farm raised animals at least get tested. Also, are sandhill cranes considered endangered for that matter? Just stuff to think about. You might want to talk to a Game Warden.
