    Not even close to cannibalism. And yes, it would be much more like humans and cows because ‘bird’ is as broad a category as ‘mammal.’ Some predatory birds only eat other birds.

      A crow eating chicken and a human eating beef are actually really good parallels. Crows and chicken are 91 million years diverged while cows and humans 94 million years diverged.
