Researching: Dovecotes as wild nutrient collectors - Milkwood - Courses + Skills for Real LifeMilkwood – Courses + Skills for Real Life
May 21, 2013 | Animal Systems, Nutrient Cycling | 41 Comments | Author: Kirsten Bradley Dovecotes are a great addition to any small farm (and possibly your backyard too). Keeping doves is like keeping chickens, in a way, except there’s minimal feeding involved if you take the traditional approach. And when they come home, they deliver to the floor of the dovecote free nutrients, in the form of guano. It’s the wild protein that we’re most interested in, to be blunt. We have our flock of laying and utility (multi-purpose) chickens, and they’re great. Doves, however. In addition to being 100% foragers, your average dovecote is quite fox-proof, which are the main predator around these parts. Just to flag it, the term dove and pigeon is considered by most folks to be interchangeable (at the risk of bringing both dove and pigeon fanciers down on me here). Dove life Cycle: Doves start laying in mid-spring from what I can tell, with an average of two eggs per clutch. So. Dovecotes: the options:

Attention Wild Food Aficionados: Fall foraging forges forward, and by that alliteration I mean to say that foraging for wild food “has not yet ended” this fall, so don’t put away your scissors or your plastic knives or your bare hands just yet! Just yesterday I came across some fabulous fall dandelion greens in the Colorado high country despite its notoriously short growing season. They were growing amidst the deep, down-trodden grass at the base of willows lining an old mining road, and some were nearly as long as an arm! Up here, anywhere the miners and their mules once trod is a good place to look for dandelions. At the very least these early travelers toted the seeds along by accident.

Wild Edibles: How to Eat Common Milkweed
Disclaimer: Eating certain wild plants can be deadly!! Be certain to consult a professional (or a really good field guide) in order to positively identify this plant before trying this for yourself. The owners of this site will not be held responsible for any lapses in judgment or stupidity when handling or consuming wild plants. Milkweed is one of those plants that I have fond memories for. In my late teens and early 20s, when I was big into practicing wilderness survival skills, I would often use the outer fibers on the stalk to make a serviceable cordage (I still enjoy doing this) and I learned to use the seed down but it wasn’t until I was a bit older that I learned how wonderful this plant is as a wild edible. I always knew it was edible, however I never bothered trying it since all the books I had read on the plant indicated that to render this plant palatable, it required multiple (three or more) boilings in order to remove the toxins and “bitter” taste.
