I had to butcher my first quail today.
I wasn’t expecting it to be as difficult as it was, considering I’ve processed fish before and mercy-killed other birds in the past.
Maybe because it was also the first I ever hatched, and because it was the friendliest to me. But terribly unfriendly to the other birds, which is why I culled it.
The shameful part is that I was clumsy and the shears weren’t sharp enough.
