If birds are readily available to you and you know for sure you will be able to aquire and feed your snake birds of appropriate size and quality it's entire life, then you can probably do so. I am not aware of any digestion problems inherent to an all-bird diet (but then again I've never raised something through adulthood on a bird diet either). Birds are something they would eat in the wild, so I assume it would be fine. There may be other forum members here that have fed all-bird diets that can lend more experienced advice. Just keep in mind that a full grown anaconda is going to need large, full grown chickens (or something similar) on a regular basis.

Whatever you feed your snake, it is always better to feed pre-killed prey. Offering live prey of any type to a captive reptile invites a possible mishap ending in injury to your pet.
