Honestly they probably are not WORTH eating, as the birds sell for so much money and take 2 years to be full grown (though you could eat them probably at a year). If you were to eat them, they would taste a lot like pheasant or turkey- which can both be eaten for a lot cheaper.

However, their feathers can be used in a lot of arts and crafts (jewelry making for example, or fly tying lures for fishing) and some sell the train feathers for cat toys or decor (flower arrangements with them are AWESOME).

They're also decent "watchdogs" in that they will cause quite a fuss if there's anything in your yard, alerting you.
