Hi Geoffrey,
 
There must be a trick in this that I have fallen in.......... 
 
Sorry it is strange for you to be wrong but at least some of your birds that don't eat meat certainly do. Gang-gang Cockatoos often eat saw fly larvae. Other cockatoos eat wood boring grubs, domestic pigeons regularly eat chicken, admittedly not in a predatory way but you only need to watch them scavenging around the city near the people dropping fried chicken scraps. I'd be surprised if peafowl wouldn't eat little animals or bits of meat that was available to them.
 
I wonder about the "unusual" for the eagle.
 
Philip
