Cordially, John Turco well, even garden birds will eat meat, including chicken, and gulls will eat penguin babies etc (alive!) Hawks of course will eat other birds. But this behavior is still not cannibalistic. -- Neil swap 'ra' and delete 'l' for email which one, the pelican or the other birds? anything that eats its own breed is a cannibal, I guess. I suspect though that we had a bird which was just very hungry and took a one off shot at something nearby.... I'm going to be pedantic now :O) The pelican ate a pigeon which is a different species. Aye, I know what you mean, not that my brain would accept anything new lately, and that is exactly how I have always thought about it until Fry and co gave the suggestion that only dogs have different species. Real problem is I can't recall if they included birds, but I think they did. This is what bugged me with the mad cow thing. They deliberately fed cows with other animals, including other cows if I remember right. A bit like mincing up dead people, shoving them in with beef in a pie then wondering what the fuss is about when you're found out. The culprit in the feed was sheep remains, some of which was infected with scrapie. I was trying to recall the name of the disease. Excuse for the feeding was something like animals nibble on bones if they find them in the wild, or some such crap. -- Paul (Need a lift she said much obliged) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |
