I'm not sure about the question of wherther birds will eat snipped, dried out slugs. I suspect they do as it's seems to be the slime that puts them off. I think I've seen sparrows eating remains of nightly-snipped slugs the following morning. Whichever way up, there's usually no bodies to be seen when I go out to water.
I feel left out of the big Trump style slug debate. In theory we can get them here, but I've never seen one. Just the usual range of small to extra large beasts in shades of grey, fawn, brown and black. We do get lots of leopard slugs.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

In my naivety, I'm hoping that the council chops, heats and generally mushes the contents of the garden waste bins to form beautiful, rich compost.

Ive been talking about slugs on the foodie forum … a friend commented
“I didn't know about Spanish slugs before. Where's Priti Patel when you need her?”
🤣
