No. They can eat a little unsalted popped popcorn, but popcorn is a special type of corn that's not bred to be eaten unpopped by anything.
I guess if you throw some out on the ground and they really want to eat it, it wouldn't kill them--but I doubt they'd want it.
If you're thinking of cracked corn, or "deer corn", those might be options for feeding chickens, ducks, or wild birds. But that's not popcorn--it's field corn that's dried for storage.
But don't feed kernels to inside birds, like a cockatiel or whatever. Get some sunflower seeds, millet, that sort of thing.

safe but probably too hard for most birds, make popcorn even a small budgie can eat and enjoy unsalted, unbuttered popcorn as a treat.

My mom's birds looooooove popcorn. I would have to go with the majority here - don't feed them the unpopped kernels.
