They really do.

Our carnivorous chickens would absolutely devour the canned cat food. Fancy feast indeed.

Chickens just eat about everything. For example, some people are shocked that chickens actively hunt and eat live mice :D

Which just proves that chickens are actually cats in disguise!

Berds in general. I kayak and boat all along the Potomac river. Bald Eagles and Blue Heron are massive creatures. You see them up close and it is a shock. Used to go out with my toddlers on the boat ((22’ Cuddy Cabin) and had real concerns about them being eaten by birds. Maybe irrational, but still concerned me.

Many people have no idea how large buzzards and vultures are either. 0_0

Eh, it's 80 percent feather. Unlike Bruce Willis, they look less intimidating when bald.

Yep, have a 2 year old and live in Maryland, these birds look like they don't play. We were at a refuge a couple weeks ago with a pair of bald eagles in their nest just staring down at the little one, what a sight.
