Each has its own advantages.
Pigeons are rich in nutrition, but old pigeons grow for a long time, and their nutritional value is higher, but their meat quality will be worse with aging, while tender pigeons mostly refer to young pigeons that have grown for about a month, and their nutritional value is lower, but their meat quality is more tender and their eating taste is better.
