How do you take out the guts of a quail?

[someusername]

I normally don't post here, since I keep pet quail, but one of my quail has died from a crow or some black bird that pecked the skin on his head off, and since I do not want to waste him(he's a roo) I am trying to process him for meat. How exactly do you take the guts out, when there is no opening in the body? do you cut a hole in the bird?

Hi there!
Cut the head off then cut along each side of the spine...like this:

OHH YOURE SUPPOSED TO CUT THE HEAD OFF.
I'm so dumb.
And that video sounds kinda gruesome.

It's not too bad. The worst part is the killing the bird...which is already done for you.

Yeah, it was sad to see him go. Thanks.
