  Not even close to cannibalism. And yes, it would be much more like humans and cows because ‘bird’ is as broad a category as ‘mammal.’ Some predatory birds only eat other birds.

    A crow eating chicken and a human eating beef are actually really good parallels. Crows and chicken are 91 million years diverged while cows and humans 94 million years diverged.

      Squid actually posted something about this on !science@lemmy.world a week or so ago. If I didn’t quite fall down the rabbit hole of cetacean evolution, I at least tripped over it.
