Probably, it's their pet bird to do with as they will. Seems a little costly compared to using mice though, and budgies could harm the snake if the snake isn't used to something that fights back.
I'm not even touching the "is it morally okay" side of things since this is a bird board.

It's certainly morally okay if the snake and budgie went mano a mano in the wild! LOL

Yeah, but I'm hiding behind a rock from that! I'm just waiting for folks to be really offended that someone would feed a parrot to a snake.
... Want behind my rock too?

Unfortunately whatever is the persons property or pet they will do what they will. Sad case of reality, but it is true. I dont know if it would be considered animal cruelty or not but I dont think so (although I myself believe it to be grossss and terrible).

Snakes as well as large monitors and other lizards will eat birds of any kind. When I worked at the zoo, we has several pythons over 12 ft in length. They at times were feed live chickens.
Morally, I don't know why someone would feed a budgie to a snake, except for the sick fun of it in thier eyes. Mice and rats are a much cheaper meal then a budgie. Also they are taking a chance in the bird biting their snake in defense which can be dangerous.

Shadow, people DO feed rabbits to their snakes, how do you think that people feed 12 food long burmese? I feed mine rat pups and she'll get big enough for adult rats, but no bigger, which I'm thankful for.
