You know as well as I do that peppers don't do anything for worms!

They might be able to eat them, but I wouldn't risk it. I would put those in the category of onions and garlic; probably harmful.

Won't hurt them at all, they may not eat them? ...but if they do, then you won't have to season them with pepper!

I assume they can eat chili peppers without issue - I would just avoid the stems and leaves of the pepper plant, as they're poisonous. Tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers are all in the Solanum family, which are related to deadly nightshade. Most new world Solanum plants have safe fruits or roots, but leaves and stems should not be eaten.

But peppers literally evolved to be spicy to mammals and not birds, who don't have capsaicin receptors. Mine happily eat bell peppers - including seeds - and if they can't taste spiciness I don't see what the danger would be.
