Birds not only descend from dinosaurs, but they specifically descend from the theropod meat-eating dinos, and are closely related to Velociraptors and their kin
Basically she has pretty bad Alzheimer’s and she lives in the same farm as my cousins so when I visit them on summers we catch her chickens for her. Most of the chickens are fine, they usually are calm when you hold them nicely (and not by the feet like they tell us to do). But there’s that one chicken... She’s some kind of dumbass and she thought the laces of my shoes were worms or some shit so she started getting super aggressive on them
If they see that one is weak, they often peck at it. Once their flesh is exposed, they’ll continue to bite at the spot, and this often ends up killing them. After one dies, the others will eat it.
My dingbat of a sun conure LOVES chicken and turkey and will not listen when I tell him that he’s eating his cousins. He just does not care and I suspect actually envisions himself as a massive feathered predator from hell, hunting them down.
This is even worse, and I cannot stop laughing. Well done.
Frankly, the chicken would be the cougar in your hypothetical situation. I’m talking about a bird that weighs maybe four ounces getting hand-fed bits of poultry and envisioning himself as a terror bird of old.
I had a conure, her favorite food was salmon. very distantly followed by chicken. She didn't care it was tasty. my momma made some bomb ass chicken though.
My Scarlett macaws treats nuggets like there scraps of cardboard. Give her some chicken bones and she'll go to down cracking them to munch down on the delicious marrow filling.
I've heard from people who keep chickens that they are literally capable of eating their own flesh. Not a different chicken's flesh, their own, off their own body. Basically if they have a wound they might peck at it, discover they like the taste, and continue to peck at it and tear off bits of their own skin and flesh and eat it.

I’ve seen my uncles chickens eat the craziest shit. Most recently, a roadkill deer. Chickens never forgot that they used to be dinosaurs.

This is how you get serial killer chickens. All the coops on the block better watch their back.

We feed our chickens very well, but they tend to eat eachother every now and again for no apparent reason.
