I was horrified to discover that chickens also eat chicken nuggets. Dropped a nugget by accident at a zoo and a chicken came over and ate it.

My nana would send over baked chicken (we are vegetarians) and my mom would feed the chicken to my parakeets. Alf and Alfalfa (our parakeets) lived until they were 17/18 years old.

I had a parakeet that loved chicken. His little eyes would ping like crazy.

Did you teach them to say they wanted chicken?

Guess a lot of animals love chicken. I witnessed two backyard ducks eating their step-sister the chicken. I had spent weeks thinking the trio was wholesome and cute. Until the carnage.

I felt similarly betrayed when I saw a squirrel with a dead bird in its mouth.

I didn't know a squirrel would do such a thing. :(

Was surprised to find out that they’re omnivores. But I don’t know why they don’t rip open trash bags and chow down.

Guess storing rotten meat in the squirrel nest isn’t popular with squirrel families.

Ever see a pigeon attack a chicken bone? Birds go nuts for chicken.
