Not that surprising. Many herbivores are opportunistic carnivores.

The videos of the deer eating birds is always fun

Ah ducks the Donald Trump of the bird world. They too enjoy rape.

have these people never seen themselves? eating chicken all day?

Usually mostly mammals though because since they're able to digest breast milk a little meat tends to agree with them better. But yeah at the end of the day free protein is probably worth an upset tummy out in the wild.

Also most carnivores are oportunistic herbivores too. It's not shocking enough, but it's true.

Yeah, I also feel like that's not a surprise to anybody that's had dogs.

My cats sometimes think they're plastic-vores so I gotta keep the bags locked up.
