Do I leave the game if a bird has eaten from it?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a bird eats from the game that I sent out, do I leave the game and not eat it, like the game of a dog?

The Shaykh:
So what is it?

The questioner:
He says: If a bird eats from the game specifically?

The Shaykh:
They say that birds do not contradict [the ruling] because they do not accept training. A dog is trained; if you find it has eaten, you hit it, and it knows that you hit it because of the eating, so it leaves it. As for the bird, it does not know; if you hit it, it does not know. It is permissible to eat from what the bird has eaten from, and there is no report from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding eating from what a bird has eaten from. Rather, the prohibition was reported regarding eating from what a dog has eaten from.
