But I have a vague worry - I've heard that birds can't process

fat?

It can, and it does.

Is this an irrational fear? Am I being daft? Or should I stop
using
grill fat and stick to the Crisp n Dry?

You can use it, but clarify it first by putting it in a saucepan
with
some water and boiling it for five minutes. This dissolves the
salt.

But I don't think the dripping from grilled bacon actually has much
salt in it: doesn't seem to when I spread it on bread, anyhow. Are my
taste-buds getting insensitive?
