Most of them are ruthless killing machines but we don't notice because they are all flightly and whimiscal and their prey is smaller but they basically have death on the mind 24/7. Not to be trusted or admired in any way IMHO.

Yeah, I've stopped chasing birds. They're just too whimsical and vicious. Some ruthless killing machines, yes. Definitely not to be trusted or admired in any way.
I see what you did there, brother!
Ummm...you've just described ALL animals (aside from the flightly [sic] part).

What about deer, cows, horses, fish, sheep, etc. You are DEAD WRONG.

Nope, same applies to all of the above. Go ask the grass.
Oh, and by the way, the vast majority of fish species are carnivores (not that it matters to this discussion but you may be interested to learn).
I was attacked by a red-winged blackbird yesterday during my run. Damn bird.
Word. I have a relative who had to take time out in intensive care after get caught red-handed by an ostrich stealing an egg. The bird only stopped when he (yes, daddy was on egg duty while mummy was out gallivanting) thought my uncle was dead. Vicious creatures.
I'm talking about even smaller birds like sparrows, robins, etc. If you watch them long enough, they will scare the shit out of you. Vestigial dinosaurs with cold blood (both literally and figuratively).

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. What other animal would be willing to take on another animal that's 50x times it's size and weight?
One time when I was running a bird sh** on me. Those are truly ruthless beasts. I went home, got my gun and started shooting birds. I killed 17 birds. I AM THE MAN!!!

VERY IMPORTANT FACT that everyone really, really needs to know. With ostriches it is ALWAYS daddy who is on egg duty.
Daddy forms the nest. Hot mommas come to him to get serviced and lay their eggs in his nest. He looks after the eggs and young from several hens.
And now you know.

That would be one small dude if he was only 50x the weight of a red-winged blackbird! Would have to weigh about 6 pounds!
Now that is seriously anorexic - even for a runner.
Cats make birds look tame!...
Footage of some of their attacks.
Knocking a mountain goat off a cliff so it falls to its death and then swooping down on the body was pretty sadistic.

But they get what's coming to them, too.

You've clearly never encountered a sheep in the wild.

When did this become a revelation for you?
Cats kill rodents that are pests to man. That is How they originally became domesticated to protect stored grain from rodents. Yes they kill birds too. The number of birds is much higher than our environment would support due to the use of millions of bird feeders. cats balance this. But yes they are marvellous athletes and have great hunting prowess.

Oh dear, if only birds...Indeed many animals are very agressive, especially those that you brought at home from the street. We have rats, cats, dogs, and a chinchilla - birds are the most minimal problem that children brought at home. To tell the truth, I think that the best variant is to call the zoo or a specialist that is engaged in the capture of animals and give them your coordinates so that they themselves caught it and taken where necessary. Indeed, it cost some money, but you economize your time and you avoid the possibility to harm the animal and scold him. We had a family of birds that came to our yard. They were very loud and noisy. My daughter always fed them because they brought a brood of chicks. She even bought some special food for them similar to those they eat in the wild from Kennedy wild bird food. But unfortunately, when we have used to them, they flew away. https://www.kennedywildbirdfood.co.uk/bird-food/suet-bird-food/.
