Thanks again, people. To cut bandwidth, a compendium response:-
More good points. I already have pigeons as a semi-pest species,
largely controlled by raptors, like kestrels. One food source I
considered was hamsters, which ISTR Andean households routinely
rear in semi-captivity. As rodents (?), they should be able to
thrive on nutritionally dubious scraps.

isn't it Guinea Pigs they eat in Peru?
