If birds have such delicate constitutions, how do wild birds like pigeons and crows not accidentally poison themselves when eating? Seems like they’ll eat anything and everything.
I don’t think it would be correct to label them scavenging human food as poisoning themselves in most cases, more that it’s just bad for their overall health. A lot of our food has a bunch of calories and fats without any nutritional value for birds. I know with pigeons a diet high in breads and processed carbohydrates can lead to wig deformities.
