I love watching birds. We have a bird feeder outside kitchen window and see all kinds of birds show up there.
Why is every bird better looking than most humans… They really are.

I’ve seen chickens do this to other chickens.
Jax@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
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.

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

A family member had a mule that had to be kept away from the chickens, as the animal would gobble up any chick within reach.
It wasn’t casual, it wasn’t out of hunger.
The vet was horrified when he saw it happen, even after being warned.

It’s an easy source of nutrition. Why wouldn’t you gobble up some chicks?

Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eat a sparrow and reading a non fiction book where a fox steals sugar beets from a farmer because it got addicted to sugar. It’s nature. Rules are made to be broken in nature. That all I know.

I liked it more when I thought the sentence stopped here.
Nangijala@feddit.dk 11 hours ago
Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD
sulfidedisburseangledafternoontipper@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 hours ago
The deer thing super reminds me of The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by Margaret Killjoy.
Nangijala@feddit.dk 11 hours ago
Haven’t heard of that book, but I’ll check it out.
In the meantime, the video in question for those of you who are curious.

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
Rothe@piefed.social 7 hours ago
Tits aren’t herbivores, they eat lots of insects as well. The description in the comic is pretty misleading.
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Nerd.
I don’t know about all herbivores, but a deer will eat every little baby it finds if it discovers a nest.
I don’t think it matters what kind of baby, they are all delicious

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.

…and by “harsh” they mean “typical”
Here, in the North, as snow covers the ground we make sacrificial fat ball offerings to the beast, you know, just in case. Brain is mostly fat tissue.

I wonder if they sometimes get prion disease from that.
Maybe their lifespan is so short it won’t matter.

zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours ago
The definition of “small mammals” is too vague, because compared to a blue whale, I am fairly small. That’s why I feed those critters.

What you want to do is go to a search engine, and do an image search for
mind blowing great tits. You’ll probably have to turn the content filter off because the image may be gory. Then, just go to the page associated with the most relevant image.Tja@programming.dev 13 hours ago

There needs to be a Fallout Raider faction called Great Tits and their signature meal is cracked skull brain omelette.
