Poultry Talk Ontario (pto.ca)

Hi everyone! I'm a documentary filmmaker, and I'm looking for a farm where I could film some B-roll of pigeons/squab within a few hours drive of Toronto. Anyone have any ideas or leads? This seems like a lovely community, thank you for letting me post.
Cheers,
Lucy

Sorry but I no longer raise / have pigeons

@ross maybe some contacts you can think of ?

OC she’s already asked on CPFA web site I think . If she’s talking about squabs for food I don’t know of anyone

The irony of it all, remember when the "Pigeon King" was going to make farmers rich by raising squabs ?
You would think there would be few of those magical giant birds left around.

just in case you don't remember

@squabcurious try the Chinese community
They love eating squab. Try Chinese grocery stores. I haven't checked but T&T Supermarket has fresh squab for sale on their website. https://www.instacart.ca/products/21240312-squab-per-kg Also, it's on the menu at Yu Seafood at Yorkdale Mall in Toronto. You can call them and ask. Also you can try calling other restaurants. I don't think the average person will want to pay $48 for a squab considering how much meat there is on a squab so you should focus on Chinese fine dining restaurants. Also, try looking for websites for Chinese chefs and "foodie" sites they may know where the farms are. Good luck!

thank you!! I will try that avenue. Really appreciate it. It's been much harder to find than expected.

@squabcurious

The French like squab too!
