      I sure do. We sometimes have goose too. I love Christmas dinner! I really enjoy watching and studying birds and learning about them, but I also understand that meat (such as turkey) is a natural part of the human diet. We need protein to stay strong and healthy. Some people think it is strange for me to like birds and eat them too. However I only try to eat free range chicken, turkey and goose as these birds have better lives. They get to roam about outside instead of stuck inside cages. This means the animals have a relatively happy life. Another thing is that these birds are usually killed quickly and don’t suffer much pain. Also, I would only ever kill a bird or any other animal to eat it (never for sport!). Also, I would never eat an endangered species.
