“It was delicious”

[Rastus]

I’ve always said, “If you want to save an endangered animal, develop a taste for it.” If we were all munching down on buckets of Kentucky Fried Bald Eagle, there’d be millions of ‘em.

[jwh_Denver]

There are millions of them in Alaska.

gorgeous bird

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

There are millions of them in Alaska.

Lots of them here in central Florida, too!

Spotted owl stew is mighty tasty too.

[Steve Van Doorn]

"develop a taste for it.. there’d be millions of ‘em."

was thinking the same thing.

A nice baked echidna goes well as an appetizer before a main course of stuffed wombat.

Yummm!

I just love my nick name ;)

Stewed? I don’t know whether to ask you to pass me a bottle of good liquor, or some bath salts, lol!

"It tastes like spotted owl!"

BTW, a terrific movie to see is Mathew Broderick and Marlon Brando in "The Freshman"

My cats leave a headless one every morning on the walkway.

Tain’t a bird. It’s a mammal.

Birds have wings. This has legs.

[Malacoda]

From "long-beaked" to "long baked."

What wine goes with echidna, and what dipping sauce is preferred?

[raybbr]

But fresh evidence that proves the echidna, which was named in honour of the naturalist Sir David Attenborough....

Huh? How do you get echidna out of Attenborough?

[Red Badger]

Echidna on a stick! Echidna on a stick! Get your Echidna on a stick here!........

[Little Pig]

Common name: Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna

Scientific name: Zaglossus attenboroughi

[Little Pig]

Mind you, that’s just the name for the particular rare species of echidna mentioned in this article. There are lots of different kinds.
