    Apparently horses sometimes eat small birds. They shouldn’t but it seems it can happen if they are hungry, or bored and/or curious.

      Imagine being bored and just like “oops I ate this living thing that was screeching trying to escape”

        Well, i usually open the fridge out of boredom and casually give a bite to a dead chicken that is stored there… sometimes i just take a slice of a monolith of emulsionated pigs.

    As it turns out, many “herbivores” just need to eat and will fill in with your flesh given the chance and they’re hungry enough

    I’ve seen chickens do this to other chickens. It’s normal for them to peck at each other a bit, but if they see blood, they go crazy. They also eat eggs sometimes. Chickens, though

      Chickens actively hunt and eat mice, as well. I’ve actually seen one of my chickens find, slam around until dead (I fucking hope it was dead anyway), and swallow whole a mouse.

      Brutal little creatures. They would 100% kill and eat you if they were big enough/ you were small enough.

        Humans are a very fortunate size, aren’t we? A little bigger, and we’d be extinct like most megafauna. A little smaller, and our place on the food chain would be very different.

        Dinosaurs, ey?

        (Quick edit: As I am not close enough to biology this statement may be incorrect as chickens may not technically belong to the category [whichever level and correct name it may be/have] of dinosaur. In this case I am sorry for perpetrating this misinformation)

          Avian dinosaurs certainly existed, it isn’t inaccurate to just call them dinosaurs.

    My honest reaction every time I see something like this. For what it’s worth, the small mammals were pipistrelle bats, and other flesh and organs were missing. I don’t think they’ve ever been reported to eat rodents.

      Tufted titmouse would be my guess.

        this one has a sunflower seed. angle makes it hard to see ‘tuft’, but is probably same;
