A person is permitted not to eat permissible food that he does not find palatable, and this is not considered unlawful as long as he believes it to be lawful. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, refrained from eating the dabb (spiny-tailed lizard), explaining that he did not find it palatable, not because it was forbidden. Thus, if refraining from eating bird meat is not done as an act of worship, there is no harm in it.
