[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2124493, member: 355878"] One thing often ignored is the number of insects and other invertebrates there are running about and available for free. They contribute significantly to greenhouse gasses - also not often mentioned. When we had problems with the ants under the paved area in the garden rather than poisoning them I bought some quail eggs and hatched them out, then put their pen on the paving, moving it to a new spot each day. I got lots of eggs - could have got lots of plump quails too but they all lived out their natural life in perfect happiness. They ate all the kitchen bits, peelings and leftovers as well as the ants, and had an indoor cage for night time and bad weather, being transported between the two in a basket. They are perfect for an urban environment as they are very quiet, and when not providing eggs they make a sort of screen saver when sitting or working in the garden. They do need protection from cats, so should not be left to trot around outside. The eggs do have the potential to be living things, but quail just leave them around rather than trying to hatch them, so ethically, they are something to eat rather than see them go to waste.
