My advice is cut head off first then black plastic bag all round the bird and tie the legs to something so you have both hands free to pluck.. the feathers get everywhere... I was never shown how either, just muddled through.
Getting the guts and innards out isn't too bad after that cos the bird looks more like one from the butcher and its easier to see how it all works... good luck
... Trust me the first one you do will look rubbish and the dog will probably get the results after all that hard work. But you'll get better at it if you do it again... Then they gave me bunnies! Bunnies is a whole new thing!

now it's just a squished mess on the road..There's LOADS of pigeons around - Louie plucked his own the other week - too bad I couldn't finish it off for him and whilst plucking up the courage to do so - some animal robbed it! I still have feathers all over the garden! Do you get funny looks when you practice retrieves with a dead animal?

Harry found it when out on a walk and decided he would like to bring it home with him, I had to try and avoid the groups of children who then decided to keep walking past me.
Usually my lot eat them there and then and pluck them themselves.

I would'nt bother plucking it much. Just whack the head off and he should just eat it.
Otherwise, skin it. Much easier.
