[quote=sfalice] No, egrets are sacred and prefer not to be eaten.

How can one tell what an egret might prefer?

Like it's namesake, there's a Grumman seaplane named for it.....large, cumbersome, and doesn't fly all that well.

Some, like the Trichinella spiralis worm, have to be eaten to complete their lifecycle. I doubt they have much emotionally invested in the process, but its important to their species' survival.

I used to have plenty of time on my hands. All of these were shot within fifteen feet of them....

I shot this from a bit of a distance, using a 300mm zoom:

Ah, yes. Perhaps I cannot tell first hand,
what an egret might prefer,
