Are you making a pargrousquatridge? Take pictures!

T&T and lambda have whole frozen partridge, quail, cornish hen (and pigeon too, i think, but not sure), and duck.

but yeah, if you are making pargrousquatridge, def. take pictures.

Well I live in Canmore, home of the best Turducken around - but alas no, just a couple of British recipes I want to recreate - one being Game Pie.

Canmore...seems to me that Val Bella Meats in Canmore (I think that is the name) carried all that and more. I recall their meat selection to be rather exotic. Did you try there? I know they tended more to the red meats, but when Iwas there (admittednly a couple of years ago0, they had a wonderful selection.

We were in Canmore Sunday and picked up a Turducken at the Railway Deli - I'd think they'd be your best shot...but then you've probably already checked with them... Otherwise Second to None Meats http://www.stnm.ca/other.php lists Pheasant from Maple Hill at $26.65/kilo.

Good Luck with your search - the link cdn provided looks promising.

How did your turducken turn out? My Christmas host is getting one from there and i'm just wondering if everything was to your satisfaction.

Loved the turducken! We followed the cooking directions they supplied, and it turned out perfectly. I'd recommend them 100% :)

horizon meats might have them,and there is a meat shop at the crossroads that has gator,rattlesnake and rabbit so its a good bet they'll have birds as well,hope that helps
