Utilizing the pigeon's homing ability to transmit messages, pigeon breeding is now widespread, and edible pigeons can be purchased at most markets.

For tonics, 30- to 45-day-old squabs are generally used. When selecting, look for those with yellow down feathers that have not completely shed, and check for meat by feeling the chest.
