I did pheasant inside a chicken inside a turkey once and it was rather hard work boning each bird out so that the whole lot could be stitched together. I coated the outside of the pheasant with butter and seasoning before putting into the chicken then did the same again before putting chicken in the turkey. Cooking time was difficult to estimate so I shoved a meat thermometer into the ensemble to check it was cooked. Tasted wonderful but a bit of a fuss to do.
Old Hugh fearlessly eatitall did about 7 birds starting with snipe I think, on TV and it's also in one of his books.
