Crimpergirl: The raw ones that are shown in Aya’s link to the recipes look slippery. I would say chewy unless that are over-cooked; then they’d probably get crunchy or just rock-hard-tough!
Ron’s right: No bones!
Who KNOWS about parrots? How would they ever get the chance to eat them?
Aya: I couldn’t see how you could be from NY and NOT know about the V.D., but I guess I’m too trusting, taking people at their word. I’ve run into that before here, and I’m OK with it, preferring to err on the side of trust rather than skepticism & suspicion. Thanks for clarifying tho.

They are QUITE slippery; they have a tough outer membrane (tunic) that you need to cut through before the soft tissue of the inside sort of bursts out. You don't want to eat the tunic, that would be gross - the testis itself is soft and really really oystery. It's so weird, I never get over it.

So is it true that Santa's sac has a lot of presence?

First time was on a Spanish Land Grant ranch near Lompoc. It had dwindled over seven generations to only 15,000 acres, but the four-square-mile canyon I lived in had one dirt road to three houses. I was trading childcare for rent to a former Rolling Stone editor who had married into the family. But that's a different story.
We had kind of a non-traditional roundup. Well, one cowboy on a horse was a normal-enough start, but then came the 80-year-old patriarch on a Honda 50, and The Editor bouncing across the field in a BMW. The rest of us just ran along on foot, but we penned the yearlings and the ranchers coached enough help out of us greenhorns to git'er done. Then it was lunchtime. Damn, they were good!
Then just last summer, on the road to Valentine (sic), Nebraska (you just can't make up stuff like this), I pulled into a local, non-franchise fast food dive. Couldn't quite believe it, but up there on the menu wall between (as it were) the burgers and hot dogs, they had Rocky Mountain Oysters, a plate of a dozen.
Every bit as good as I remembered.
