It's coming this week... The day you go home, visit family and eat a bird... A bird! No. No... Don't worry. I only eat the stuffing and cranberry sauce. Don't lie to me. Look me straight in the eye and tell me you don't eat turkey!... Really... I swear... I don't eat turkey. I don't even like... Um... Why are you salivating? Ok. Maybe I eat a tiny amount just so my mom isn't insulted...

I eat what I fix, I never eat out, I just don’t trust somebody who works with food, with their dirty hands…shudder!

Of course to a parrot the eating of turkeys is roughly equivalent to the eating of cows is to us.

I know it’s only a comic strip forum, but just so you don’t go eating your turkey based on a wrong assumption, “the evidence is finally showing that these animals which are usually considered dinosaurs were actually descended from birds, not the other way around” – http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100209183335.htm

haliggonian: I agree, that “Moondog and Pilsner” are not The Journal of Boid Phylogeny; [even tho the strip should be called PILSNER] but the date of your [single!] cited work, 2010, won’t be the last word, I’m sure. One has to check every day to see what the score is on everything scientific.

Hey, Moonie! Don’t let your bird guilt-shame you! Eat lots of turkey and feel good about it! It’s not as if it were parrot meat!

Don’t be upset Pilsner. You haven’t been invited to dinner. Worry excessively if you are invited to Thanksgiving dinner.

just because it’s another bird doesn’t mean it’s a close relative to a parrot. Does he think we are disgusted to eat cows or pigs because they’re fellow mammals? Seriously whenever this argument pops up I get so irritated.
