To dump two frozen, whole grouse, somewhere in town, with a sign around their neck saying "I am Famous"?

[QuintessentialShadows]

Should I?

Or is this a sick practical joke to play on unsuspecting towns people coming to do their saturday shopping?

I have been emptying out my fathers old chest freezer, long overdue I might add. And found the two delights in a plastic bag.

How do you dispose of dead (shot) grouse in a decent manner??

Cook them?

I could defrost, pluck (erm, no I dont know how to pluck grouse) and then what?

Feather mayhem I want not.

Game pie?

In the bin? Think of it as a pack of meat but with feathers instead of plastic wrap! How long have they been there? You could offer them to a neighbour if they haven't been there long (and if you have the type of neighbours who can deal with this!)

Or you could leave them next to an empty bottle of famous grouse with a sign saying 'Fame gets you nowhere'

I dont know how long they have been there. 7 years? 10? More?

Bin 'em or eat 'em.

Or "Fame kills you. Either way"

That's good!

Can't you just put them in the food scraps recycling box though? Possibly best to put them in on the day the bins are due to be collected.

Maureen, that was this morning. I have spent this lovely friday evening pondering cabbage reheatal, and what to do with a grouse that has been dead a long long time, yet still kept her feathers, while emptying, reshuffling and defrosting my dads freezer.

Sell them? There are tons of weird things on freecycle, stick 'em on there.

Go with puds' suggestion

I have no idea what you should do with them but you have my twisted sense of humour and I think I love you.

Hmm, I am currently visiting my dad in Norway. No freecycle here.

Most grouse loving folks are out shooting their own these days....

Which is why I think my dumping grouse in the town center might be seen as a cultural political message.

Baron, I once dragged an entire reindeer antler from Norway to London, to dump in a park near Putney..... If life is not fun enough, you need to make it so...

Grouse must have a natural predator. Find that predator, donate the grouse and it will think all its Christmasses have come at once.

That particular predator is likely to be my cousin.
He spent last week hunting geese, so would not like my gamey old grouse...After all HE shot them, I suspect.

Excellent. Sort of like glitter bombing but with animal parts. The carnivore in me applauds you.

That old, I wouldn't trust them. Especially if the shot is still in.

I should think the shot is still in. Not sure if they used led...

Do the decent thing Quint, please.

Bury them with a little prayer

Give them a decent send-off

Are there any cats around? They'd have a good go at them.

I've seen (one of) the famous grouse once- in the highland wildlife park. Poor thing constantly pecked when anyone came near cos of the training for the ads.

I have seen grouse on the isle of sky, in the Cuillins.
I have also seen grouse when trekking in the mountains in Norway, in August / September when they are still wearing their summer clothes.

I would never shoot an animal or a bird. I just could not.

Get them on ebay, frozen birds aplenty I kid you not.

At least they will be of some use
