The wife and oldest daughter take care of the birds around here. I haven't actually done one in years. In addition to the breast for fried nuggets, they take the legs and thighs for enchiladas or pot pie. You want a pressure cooker for that. Cook it then pick it for the recipe. We eat a good many squirrels, so the extra effort is not out of the ordinary.
You can also save the marabou feathers for any fly tiers you might know. Wing feathers can go to a traditional archer for fletching arrows. The wing bones can be used to make a turkey call. Mounting the fan is pretty easy and makes a nice piece for the man cave.
