Default Is it wrong to feed chicken to birds?
We had some (cooked) chicken in the fridge that was going to be chucked out and gavin has just put it out for the birds..I find this very wrong because its cannibalism if they eat it surely?

Its making me feel a bit ill seeing them eat it too

Oh they are eating it..infact we are now bickering on about whether the ones eating it are seagulls or 'landgulls'. Apparently once seagulls come inland they become landgulls? Never heard of this before

If you are feeling guilty, Vicky chuck some crisps out for the birds, they love crisps.

Yeah, salt is one of the best things to eat on earth. Especially for tiny animals.

They get unsalted ones from me as I buy Morrisons own with the salt packets and chuck the salt packets away.

I don't think it's cannibalism, big birds eat smaller birds don't they?

It's not cannibalism unless you feed chicken to other chickens

Cooked rice isn't too bad, as it's already soaked up the moisture and expanded to it's full size. The danger is the uncooked stuff people throw out that can expand massively in their stomachs.
