So is it me who does something wrong or is butchering in adventure mode somehow broken?

My adventurer (pikeman) has a companion who is bowman.
While traveling rthrough the wilderness we met a Tiercel Peregrine, which was shot on sight by the bowman.
I took the corpse into my left hand, dropped my pike and got my large copper dagger out of my backpack (and placed it into my right hand).
Then I tried to butcher it (x -> b -> enter) ... but nothing happens ... there is no option to select an item for butcher and the corpse stays a corpse instead of turning into multiple edible parts
I also tried to put the corpse on the ground and butcher it (while being in the same tile (and in a third attempt while being in an adjacent tile) but with the same result.

So is this tasty peregrine corpse doomed to rot away in my backpack with me being unable to butcher it, or is there any way that I overlooked?

the body has to be on the ground not in your hand.

also some animals that are too small cant be butchered by adventurers.

Peregrines are too small to yield any meat or bones when butchered, so you can't butcher them.

Well, Wiki (for the last version) says it works both, i.e. butcherable item either on the ground or in your off-hand.

So the peregrine is too small. Pity, no roasted peregrine intestines for me then and the peregrine died a useless dead

Not at all!!  It died for !!SCIENCE!!

[Proteus]

Thatīs true, of course...
unfortunately in the new version it is usually the monsters that perform !!SCIENCE!! on me

Not sure if you're already doing this by the commands you've posted, so forgive me if you are. After you use the down arrow key to highlight butcher, use the right arrow key to move the highlight to the corpse you want to butcher, and then press enter. Then make sure your sharp weapon/object is highlighted to the right of the corpse to execute the butcher command.

Edit: I use this with corpses on the ground, not sure about those in your hand as I never do it that way.

Yep,
I now had another case where my adventurer (well, the next adventurer, as the adventurer with the peregrines got a bolt into the head by a xbow sniper ) had a de facto butcherable animal (a honey badger) ...
in this case I got what I expected and what was missing for the peregrine (i.e. the butcherable corpse was displayed right of the "Butcher"-Command (and could be selected by pressing the right arrow))
