Much of this from 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, not the horrifying quote, however. Ortolan88

Is there a source for this ? Somehow I find it hard to believe that a dying man could eat ortolans.
[edit] Conservation
fr:Ortolan says that it is protected in Europe, but this article says it is of least concern. --Error 19:35, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- There's no conflict there,most birds in Europe are protected to a greater or lesser extent, even quarry species have specified hunting periods. The Birdlife International criteria are quite strict - to even be vulnerable, a species must have a small population, limited range, or be declining at an alarming rate. Ortolan is still a numerous an widespread bird, and is common around the Med. Jimfbleak.talk.07:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
