There is a Greek word for the above but I have completely forgotten it. It may not consist only of songbirds but of other small 'garden' birds. It is, I understand, Cypriot delicacy. In British culture today, most people would regard such birds as backyard wildlife and taboo as food and perceive shooting them as wanton and unnecessary destruction of creatures who add so much to the richness of the environment i.e. as fascinating creatures to observe and not to shoot for food.
