Great tits make me brainless too

My honest reaction every time I see something like this. For what it's worth, the small mammals were pipistrelle bats, and other flesh and organs were missing. I don't think they've ever been reported to eat rodents.

Pack it up, folks. We already have the best comment...

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

What you want to do is go to a search engine, and do an image search for mind blowing great tits. You'll probably have to turn the content filter off because the image may be gory. Then, just go to the page associated with the most relevant image.

Just let me slap you in the face with my boobs bro, it's just really cold bro, it's just until your skull cracks open and i can eat your brains bro, please bro, they're great tits bro, it's science bro

And cows sometimes eat frogs 🤷🏻

Don't forget to share with the class!

As it turns out, many "herbivores" just need to eat and will fill in with your flesh given the chance and they're hungry enough

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.

Raptors being raptors

The definition of “small mammals” is too vague, because compared to a blue whale, I am fairly small. That’s why I feed those critters.

..and by "harsh" they mean "typical"

Here, in the North, as snow covers the ground we make sacrificial fat ball offerings to the beast, you know, just in case. Brain is mostly fat tissue.

🎶 I ate a chick and i liked it 🎶

I wonder if they sometimes get prion disease from that.

Maybe their lifespan is so short it won't matter.

Found the dad in the comments 👨

Nothing shocks me after seeing the video of a deer eating a sparrow and reading a non fiction book where a fox steals sugar beets from a farmer because it got addicted to sugar. It's nature. Rules are made to be broken in nature. That all I know.

The deer thing super reminds me of The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion by Margaret Killjoy.

I liked it more when I thought the sentence stopped here.

Lol. Why is the deer eating a sparrow less disturbing than a fox getting addicted to sugar beets? XD

Haven't heard of that book, but I'll check it out.

In the meantime, the video in question for those of you who are curious.

I gave it its 69^th^ upvote. Nice.

I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image

Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.

There needs to be a Fallout Raider faction called Great Tits and their signature meal is cracked skull brain omelette.

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

Guilty

Exactly.

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

It's a video. I'll see if I can get it to auto play here:

I dunno man, I think your joke was quite innocent, actually.

I hope my farmers don't mind it

Great Tits aren't herbivores, they mainly eat lots of insects. The description in the comic is pretty misleading.

Birds never stopped being dinosaurs 🤷

I've seen chickens do this to other chickens. It's normal for them to peck at each other a bit, but if they see blood, they go crazy. They also eat eggs sometimes. Chickens, though

Chickens actively hunt and eat mice, as well. I've actually seen one of my chickens find, slam around until dead (I fucking hope it was dead anyway), and swallow whole a mouse.

Brutal little creatures. They would 100% kill and eat you if they were big enough/ you were small enough.

... would not have expected such a dick move from a great tit.

Dinosaurs, ey?

(Quick edit: As I am not close enough to biology this statement may be incorrect as chickens may not technically belong to the category [whichever level and correct name it may be/have] of dinosaur. In this case I am sorry for perpetrating this misinformation)

Anyone who has owned chickens knows this for a fact. They're fucking brutal.

Great Tits man

Chickens typically eat eggs when they have a vitamin deficiency, although that's why typically obligate herbivores will sometimes eat baby birds and small rodents.

Just like me!

😂 Oh how did I ever find amusement before the internet existed

Last year I witnessed a bird MURDER another bird over some dispute over bird seeds.

Eat their brain, gain their knowledge.

Avian dinosaurs certainly existed, it isn't inaccurate to just call them dinosaurs.

Humans are a very fortunate size, aren’t we? A little bigger, and we’d be extinct like most megafauna. A little smaller, and our place on the food chain would be very different.

language is mostly what we make of it anyways :-)

I prefer small tits
