A really good way to clean birds is dip the bird in hot water about 160 (turkey deep fryer works well), dip him in about three to four times, once the bird gets hot the pores open up and those feathers come right off.

Cut the head off ainch from the bodyand the feet turn the bird on his back make a cut from the top of the rib cage to the top of the rectum (do not cut through the rectum) reach inside the bird to the neck wrap your finger around the wind pipe and pull out. You can use a spoon to clean the rest of the inside of the bird along with cold water.

This is a good way to clean a bunch of birds very quicklyand you are not wasting any meat.
