My cat always left mice out on my deck and as I was leaving for work one day a damn chickadee was out there pecking its skull open eating its brain, metal af.

Nature is a system of grays, most herbivores mostly eat plants, but will gladly snack on a baby bird or some small animal if it’s near their mouth and they can catch it. Most carnivores mostly eat meat, but will snack on some plants if they need the nutrition. Very few animals are purely (The scientific word would be ‘obligate’) Herbivores or Carnivores, almost the entirety of the animal kingdom are somewhere between the two.

‘Herbivore’ mammals get their revenge too. I recall a story from a bird banding friend, who deployed mist nests to trap birds for banding and found a line of trapped bird carcasses with their heads bitten off.
One morning they caught site of white-tailed deer nipping the heads off of the trapped birds within reach, which is not what they expected. Just always serves as a reminder that your conceptions of herbivores don’t always match what they might do in an opportunistic moment.

Should say “I eat mostly seeds and berries” (to imply he sometimes eats other things).
The wrong word is modified here, implying he sometimes does other things with the seeds and berries (throws them, craps them out, etc.).

I just figure, yeah, birds are descended from dinosaurs. So they gotta eat, and will do whatever it takes to find that food and eat it to stay alive.

There is no such thing as an obligate herbivore.

It’s just basic scavenging behavior. The picture here is a pretty misleading the tit didn’t *kill* the mouse per say. The mouse is either dead on the ground or it is so close to death it can’t move and the tit will finish it off. You would be shocked what cute “herbivores” get up to when times are tough, cows will eat meat if it’s available they just can’t catch it, and don’t get me started on rabbits.

The thing is a lot of animals. We consider herbivores are usually do it in optimal conditions.I think it called opportunist herbivovors but i’m probably wrong.
Basically, if conditions are bad enough or they have a reason.They will swap to meat. For example sheep had been shown to eat birds on occasion.
