This is just my opinion, nothing more. They might eat them but do you really want to get your snake(s) started on something other than rodents? Reason being they may refuse rodents in the future. Just something to think about.

On the other hand you may have no problems at all. My boss' burmese eats anything he puts in the cage, rabbits, jumbo rats, chickens, live or frozen/thawed.

I know another guy who started feeding his burmese guinea pigs when he couldn't find any jumbo rats. Now that thing will only eat guinea pigs. It won't touch rats or rabbits for anything.

Something else to think about is the smell. In my exp. when a boid eats a bird of any type there stool is really really awful...one good thing is you will know it is times to clean the cage...even if your pulling in the driveway..lol..

And it's not just the smell but the consistency as well. Because you don't have all that nice hair to bind everything together and all it's extremely 'wet' and sloppy. Tough to just spot clean. Ever have a baby? A sick baby? With the runs? That had just eaten a lot of cabbage pure and drunk milk as a last meal? Well, it's kind of like that but worse. Can't just pretend you don't notice anything and wait for your wife to come home to treat the situation like a HazMat incident.

Good luck!
