That is very true. But it doesn't apply with all carpets. For a while now, I've been feeding Popeye a mix of quail and rats. He seems to down rats faster (although that's probably because he's used to eating something with a tail, and so starts to eat the quail butt first until he realises this one has a long neack lol) but other than that he eats whatever I give him.
