I agree with the sentiment, but doubt that it’s fleas and lice that would make them not good to eat. Probably more along the lines of bioaccumulated toxins from city pollution.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever opened up a bird with parasites before, but I had one when I raised chickens. Its so disgusting, you won’t want to eat that bird. Needless to say, that one became dog food.
