I suspect Michael is right. Another bizzare case is the NZ parrot (whose
name I can't spell) that cannibalises sheep by pecking their backs.
Also, the converse: think of the range of birds and other animals, normally
considered insectivorous or carnivorous, which will enjoy bread and fruit
on occasions.
