Chrisman discusses meat pigeons, also known as utility pigeons (when they're young they're called squabs). She shows footage of her own meat pigeons raising squabs, discusses the history of pigeon meat as the everyday poultry of choice, talks about the nutritional value of squab vs. chicken meat, and explains the etymology of the words "pigeon" and "dove". The end of the video includes a brief walk-through of the Des Moines pigeon show to see the fancy (non-meat) breeds on display: homers, frillbacks, Zitterhalls, and Jacobins.
