DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT carry them bundled up in a USGI OD-Green wet weather top slung over your shoulder! They will NOT stay alive long enough to lay eggs using this method.
I attempted this method of carry during SERE with some "foraged" birds....
From experience, the birds will become very agitated, get hot, make lots of noise and crap all over themselves before suffocating to death!
Now with that said, If you are hungry enough ,you can get past the crap encrusted feathers and stench, pry them out of whatever death poses they stiffen into, and with a trickle of water and a rusty can make yourself a fine meal.
I'm not sure how much to "age" the birds to get the best flavor, but IIRC, ours aged about 1 day (entrails in) before we had the opportunity to stop and boil them up.. From what I remember it was the best meal I had had in DAYS!
Mmmmmmmmm!
