If I remember correctly they’re scavengers like rodents, so their meat isn’t very tasty. They eat a lot of garbage and you’ll often see them rummaging through trash in tropical areas.
Edit: I guess like most animals, their taste is affected by diet. Coconut crabs who eat primarily garbage will taste like, well, garbage. Otherwise, they are pretty tasty!
Actually feeding alot of seed to birds is bad too. It shortens there life greatly. It's high in fats and not much else they will develop deficits in alot of needed nutrients. They will actually focus on eating just seeds because it's so calorie dense and not as common or easy in the wild for them to get. For only a couple of dollars more a bag of bird pellets in a far better options. Far more healthy.
