I recall bacon being allowed. But what about salami? I have some, but
the texture is not to my liking. I could cut it up and throw it out
for the birds (which are numerous here).

If they dont like it they wont eat it, its quite simple.

That isn't always a safe assumption. ISTR high salt content foods can be
dangerous to some birds (as apparently are avocadoes).

Not really. It has way too much salt in and if it doesn't kill the adults it
will certainly kill the babies which it gets fed to same with bacon
:0(
Instead of feeding it to the birds you could cut it up and add it to a stir
fry to bring out the flavours of the other bits in there.The texture changes
when it gets heated.

Couldnt you eat it on a Pizza ??

They might like it though, that's the problem. The salt content is too high
for birds.

my sister once managed to kill all her chickens by feeding them avocados as
a 'treat' one afternoon. She woke up next day, opened the henhouse to find
them all dead :0(
I once had a young dog nearly die after raiding the bin and chewing an
avocado stone.

Very good as flavouring in a pork, chicken, or beany casserole, too.

They prefer it on rye bread, with a side order of coleslaw.

Okay. I've now got the feedback (thanks!) and have decided the best
thing is to forget about feeding it to birds. I've already eaten half,
so I suppose I can manage the other half. (It was a huge one from
Lidl, and I hate wasting food.)

Or grill it. You lose a lot of the fat and it tastes a bit more like bacon.

You should not give birds bacon, or salami.

Both contain a lot of salt, and birds are unable to get it out of their
systems fast enough.

Bring it round here and I'll provide the biccies and butter...

Or, wrap it in polythene and freeze it. It'll keep indefinitely like
that, even in the icebox of a fridge.

I don't think that seagulls have any problem :-)

The seagulls ate it with relish. Pickled python relish, if I
recall.
