Listen now
Description
After rubbing shoulders all the time in prisons, in towns, or on land owned by a Lord or The Church - getting out there in the great wide open skies was startling for people.

To find out what was up with birds, and what was making it to the early American table - when we mostly weren't keeping chickens for meat - for really good reasons, listen along.
