Is it normal for a cat to like eating grass?

I have a 2-year old calico and she is an outdoor cat. While outside she spends her time nibbling grass or meowing helplessly at out of reach birds.  I don’t use weedkillers or any chemicals on my grass, so is this behavior unhealthy for her in anyway, or is it a sign of any health problem?

I’ve only had one other outdoor cat in my life and that was when I was younger and didn’t notice details like that.

 

Thanks.

    Yes, they do eat grass to keep their stomach from aching. I let my cats go outside and play around our yard and then they’ll eat some of the grass.
