    Apparently horses sometimes eat small birds. They shouldn’t but it seems it can happen if they are hungry, or bored and/or curious.

      A family member had a mule that had to be kept away from the chickens, as the animal would gobble up any chick within reach.

      It wasn’t casual, it wasn’t out of hunger.

      The vet was horrified when he saw it happen, even after being warned.
