Is that sort of behaviour a natural result of lack of predation, or is it just 
because people are feeding them?

The brush-turkeys at Binna Burra are absolutely fearless thieves!  I saw one 
jump into the back of a hatch-back while the owners were unloading and helped 
itself to food that it found there.  They also grabbed several unopened packets 
of chips set that we had set out for pre-prandial "nibblies" - brazen isn't the 
word for it!
