Let’s get into biological fiction. The New Zealand kea parrot, about the size of a frail kite, is known to be able to kill a sheep. Нe does this due to intellectual abilities that are disproportionately superior to those of birds of prey. Parrots are, so to speak, “monkeys among birds.” Now let’s imagine that during the course of evolution, kea developed to the size of an eagle in size and physical strength, and developed to the level of monkeys in mental abilities. Such birds in a flock of five or six could kill not only a sheep, but anyone.
Of the terrestrial animals, only packs of large canines could somehow resist them; if they did not kill a single large predator like a tiger or a bear, they would very much wound them and force them to retreat. Іt would really be a bird’s horror. Alfred Hitchcock would have very loved it.
(Оf course, І know very well that there are no bears in New Zealand, the bear is here just for visual demonstration)
