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

Imagine being bored and just like “oops I ate this living thing that was screeching trying to escape”

Well, i usually open the fridge out of boredom and casually give a bite to a dead chicken that is stored there… either that or take a slice of a monolith of emulsionated pigs.

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.

I hope my farmers don’t mind it

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

Exactly.
I once read an article where a biologist stated that herbivores should be instead considered oportunistic carnivores.

Oportunistic carnivores? Too lazy to hunt prey you mean.
