Interesting... I knew that pigs will eat anything.. I’ve seen documentaries where they’ve said back in the day of a criminal or an ‘insignificant’ died or was killed they just chucked the bodies into the pig pens ..


Guess that meant a few months later they were eating pigs that ate humans !!??

Oh yeah, pigs are even more opportunistic. In the wild they'll truly eat anything that suits their fancy, and thanks to their strong yet maneuverable nose, nothing can stop them from getting to it. Also, due to feral hogs (which are very dangerous, more than most people would think), it's more than possible that people have been killed and subsequently eaten by swine before. Not hunted necessarily, but after killing someone they likely wouldn't have let a perfectly good corpse go to waste...

All this to say, the overriding majority of our non-venomous noodle friends are far less scary in reality in terms of what they can do to you compared to most of the "common everyday" critters folks think of.

I mean heck, even in my own household I'd sooner get bitten by my BP than my green cheek conure. With the former it'd be a few pinpricks at worst, with the latter it'd be a gaping, gushing wound if he got a hard enough bite in. And if I had a bigger bird like a macaw or cockatoo, it's be possible they'd outright break a finger if they were angry enough.
