Cuttlefish are for all intents and purposes squid, in as much as pigeons are basically chickens.

I've found that when it's all mixed up in the stir fry, most people don't notice the difference between chicken and pigeon.

I'd like to keep both birds in the future--I'm not sure which one will be harder to kill (sentimentally speaking).

The pigeon was used in Mediterranean food for thousands of years before chickens were brought back from Asia. Pigeon is still the bird of choice in Moroccan food today.

If either of those species become endangered, even hardcore, James Watt Republicans might admit there's something wrong with the ecosystem. No, probably not. Let's hope the bird flu doesn't test that theory.
