Warning: This reply contains elements that are not for the queasy.
My inclination is to bury them under fruit bushes or trees, but I think this may be illegal. It's illegal (I'm 99%sure) to bury dead animals, but this is kitchen waste really, and what happens about the burying of pets, too?
I don't like it to go to waste though, so I'm experimenting with bokashi.
In summary:
Loose feathers go in the compost heap (well, those that don't get blown all over the garden!) Cooked remains in moderation in an active bin are fine, raw remains in the same way are probably fine too, but over doing the raw remains, in a fresh bin, in warm weather is not for the squeamish.
Last year I disposed of (most of) the remains of four birds satisfactorily in this way. Unfortunately, I can't remember for sure whether or not I disposed of the raw bits (head, feet and guts) in the bokashi bin or not. (I think, the first couple of times, I put the bits I didn't want to put in the stock in the normal rubbish bin.)
Either way, the bokashi bin was already part filled with half decomposed veg, and the weather was colder, so no flies around, also, I only had one lot of remains to deal with at a time.
This time, I had two lots to dispose of, the bin wasn't in active use, and the flies must have got to the remains before they went in the bin. It doesn't smell half as bad as normal rotting meat, but the bin is crawling with maggots.
Also not for the squeamish, they do make an excellent treat for the chooks! (There are loads in the grooves in the lid.) |
