I don’t believe there are carnivorous and scavenger birds that are eaten for food.

We eat omnivorous birds though (chickens, esp)

Sandhill cranes are omnivorous and have the nickname "ribeye of the sky." I've never tried myself as I no longer live in the US, but I've heard they are very good.

Wow, they're beautiful birds I can't imagine shooting one. But... mmm... ribeye

When I lived in Alberta we used to see huge flocks of them.

I wonder if there's a way they could be domesticated for meat production. Probably not because migratory.

Crows are carnivorous scavenger birds that are actually eaten by quite a lot of people, at least here in the Northeastern US.

Are you referring to the colloquial idiom?
