Brian does not cook the Foolbird, he eats it half raw.
Fish,rabbit,foolbird,
The real name of the species is a Ruffed Grouse.
He eats foolbird on page 22, which is only one of the pages (the one I can remember) he eats them. This is from an 11 1/2 year old girl.
In chapters 13 and 14 of "Hatchet," Brian refers to the chicken-like bird as a "foolbird." This nickname comes from his observation that the bird is not very bright and provides him with an opportunity for food. The foolbird's behavior and Brian's subsequent hunting efforts highlight his growing survival skills in the wilderness.
In "Hatchet," Brian makes several mistakes while trying to catch the foolbird. He underestimates the bird's intelligence and agility, relying too much on his initial instincts rather than observing its behavior. Additionally, he is impatient and is not quiet enough, which scares the bird away, preventing him from successfully catching it. This reflects his struggle to adapt to the wilderness and learn from his experiences.

Brian's secret in finding foolbirds in the book Hatchet was to imitate the distress call of a foolbird chick. This would cause the mother foolbird to come out in search of her chick, making it easier for Brian to hunt them.
A fool bird is a bird that has a razor shape beak, and they are small and round like a chicken.
Brian had a Hatchet that his mother gave him.
