Soylent Green is people!

Heh, used to be one of my favourite movies before the star turned into
a creature from a bad fifties movie :O)

Are birds known to be cannibalistic, very often?

Cordially,

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.

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.

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.
