Combine the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, bacon, and sauteed minced onion into a loose stuffing. Season with chopped parsley, marjoram, and the other seasonings, as well as the pigeon giblets (diced heart, liver, and peeled stomach; the liver should be blanched to retain the flavor while keeping the stuffing light in color.)

Serve with different salads.
