Sadly, in Australia, the sight of dead birds and animals killed by cars on the road is a common sight. These are commonly known as road kill.
Some people are known to collect fresh road kill to cook for food. While I can, kind of, understand this, it's not something that I could bring myself to do, particularly in light of my ownership of a beautiful Roseate Cockatoo (Galah).
Cockatoos are renown to have very tough flesh and are considered to be unfit for human consumption. I'm not sure about this, as I recall a recipe that my Grandfather told me about how to cook a cockatoo. It goes like this.
1. Collect your dead cockatoo from the side of the road.
2. Pluck it and remove its guts.
3. Place a large rock in a pan full of water and bring to the boil.
4. When the water is boiling, add the cockatoo.
5. When the rock is soft, throw out the cockatoo and eat the rock.
Bon Appetit.
