This is a world where birds eat horses’

It’s likely that gastornis was an omnivore, hunting small animals as well as feeding on plants. Many modern large birds feed mostly of plants but will also eat small mammals and reptiles

Herbiverous or not, probably still would not want to just happen across one or more in the woods, forests, or fields.

Gastornis was a giant, flightless parrot, a seed-eater. Details here: reptileevolution.com/gastornis.htm

Ostriches are WAY taller than 2 meters! An average man(close to 6ft) are barely higher than their back!

The bird was eating horses??

An increasing amount of people say it was herbivore
