Raw seafood (offal) hors d'oeuvres anyone?

[gadus]

Do any fishermen/women here feed any of the offal to their birds?

I was wondering specifically about squid guts, about whether or not it would be wise to feed it to the birds? Or should everything be cooked first? Or are fish/squid guts simply not a wise hors d'oeuvres, period?

Mine polished off some mangrove snapper carcasses just this week

I don't know specifically about them for chickens, but seabirds follow trawlers in order to consume what the fishermen discard as they process the catch, to wit, the offal.

I said the hell with it and tossed the scraps in the yard. They can figure out for themselves what suits 'em.

did they eat it?

did they eat it?

They pecked at it but most of it is still out there, stinking up the yard. To the compost pile next time.

Toffee noses, the whole lot of 'em!
