Deer eating birds??

Deer eating birds?

I belive That's bunch of bs...

Though the same thing... I've never seen it

Not buying

Proof. http://youtu.be/sQOQdBLHrLk

I've also seen on tv I think red stags in New Zealand eating sea gulls

Wtc that's insane never ever would have be lived that without seeing it.... I know deer are curious creatures but never thought they would think a baby bird would be tastey

Quick protein. Most mammals eat their placenta after giving birth as well.

There is a video of a deer eating bobwhite quail eggs out of a nest somewhere. Some grad students were doing a nest depredation study or something and got the video on a game cam.

I've seen the video of deer eating quail eggs from nest. Poor quail don't stand a chance

that's just crazy

Maybe the birds had been eating corn.

Several years I had deer at my house, I,d got a new shotgun and was going to shoot it and a blue jay flew over and I shot it, it fell inside the fence and one of the does saw it fall and ate it, I thought it would probally die because I didn,t think it could digest the feathers, it id fine

A deer eating bird would have to be pretty big.

not protein they after ,,, calcium !!!!

I bet if we were hungry enough we would eat armadillo, possums, and crows...

Deer eat squirrels, too:

You know song birds are protected. The Jay probably just died from a heart attack

if i was fined for ever one i killed when i was a kid i'd owe millions of dollars and be in jail a long time . lol

This has been known for quite a while, but it's not well-advertised. Most animals in the wild live on the edge of undernutrition. They are constantly striving to try and stay ahead of that downward slide. If a deer happens upon a high-protein meal that isn't going to cost them anything in terms of effort, they are going to take advantage of it.

As Steve said, undernourished deer will eat just about anything. I've seen documented cases of deer eating live quail, fish washed up on the shore of Lake Michigan, and even a dead porcupine.
