This would of course be an offal idea. :)

Sorry, I couldn't resist that one.

Seriously, I don't see any problems with this - we eat the cooked
blackberries (there must be some seeds in there) and there aren't any
problems. NOT that that means that whatever WE can tolerate, that birds can,
of course. The upside would be that you've likely killed off any
microorganisms and parasites (if any) that were in there.
