Would a cat eat dead bird?

Cats are predators and they hunt for food. In the wild, cats often hunt for small animals, such as mice, rats, and birds. They will also scavenge for food, which means that they will eat any dead animals that they find. So, it is possible that a cat would eat a dead bird.

Whether or not a cat will eat a dead bird depends on a number of factors, such as:

The cat's diet. Some cats are fed a commercial diet that provides them with all of the nutrients they need. These cats may be less likely to eat a dead bird, because they do not need the extra food. Other cats are not fed a commercial diet and they must hunt for food. These cats may be more likely to eat a dead bird, because they need to eat anything they can find to survive.

The cat's age. Kittens are more likely to eat a dead bird than adult cats. This is because kittens are still growing and they need to eat a lot of food. Adult cats may be more selective about the food that they eat.

The cat's personality. Some cats are more curious than others. Curious cats are more likely to investigate a dead bird, which may lead to them eating it. Other cats are more cautious and may be less likely to approach a dead bird.

If you see a cat eating a dead bird, there is no need to be alarmed. This is a natural behavior for cats and it does not usually pose any health risks.
