People are more grossed out from rodents than birds because of how society has put an image on them. Birds (crows and pigeons specifically) and mice/rats are considered pests but because you associate rats with sewage and garbage and what not from movies, rats are more gross.

If you look at it from a cross-contamination point of view, rats are also more likely to contaminate food just because of obvious reasons. They are also known to carry more diseases. And the bubonic plague was also carried by rats. So when you put it all together, rats are way more gross.

REPORT IT. Call it in and tell them what you saw, and that you have video evidence. As a Public Health Inspector, they are obligated to call you back in 24-48 hours at most. Most of the time, they will call you back after they go do an inspection after your complaint. Even though the restaurant is closing down, they will have the owner on file. So if they were to ever open up another restaurant, the paper trails may tell health inspectors that the owner, may be a problematic operator.

The joys and shit you see/hear/learn when you go through the Health Inspection program in BCIT.
