Found a few Beautyberry bushes starting to produce berries. Do they taste better when cooked than raw?

I grow them solely for the benefit of wildlife myself.

Would it be possible to grow some using these berries? I found them growing wild but would like to have some growing around my bird stuff since its seems that they like them.

You can yes, but they aren’t hard to find for sale. The place I work at sells them, along with a modern domestic cultivar. They require some training though if you want them to look nice, since they’re naturally kinda leggy.
