Hello. Asta should be just fine, although she might throw the bird up. There is a chance of stomach upset if the bird was already dead, so if anytime in the next few days Asta starts vomiting, develops diarrhea, stops eating or just seem to feel unwell, please contact your veterinarian for recommended treatment. Otherwise, her stomach should be able to digest a small bird. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
