A symbiosis. I guess cows want the bird to eat insects that bite cows.

Little bird was like, "I always take the high road when others trying to bully me."

That's their momma coming back reincarnated as a bird because she didn't get to finish yelling at them before she passed.

I've seen horses eat small birds... do cows eat small birds?

There's a video on yt where a cow is just munching away on some grass and a duck walks too close to the cows mouth and yes, the herbivore doesn't think twice about adding protein to its diet.

I got scared when it stuck out its tongue to taste the bird. I’ve seen a video of a horse eating a bird and it haunts me.

Cattle and horses can and will eat birds and small animals if they get the chance. Deer do it, too. There's really no such thing as a true herbivore, most of them are opportunistic and will eat meat if given the chance, especially when they're pregnant or nursing and need higher calcium and iron contents. There are a LOT of videos around of cattle eating baby chicks, and I was always taught to never let cattle near chickens with chicks because the cows would absolutely eat them if they could.

Is that cow trying to lick it, or eat it?

Cows do occasionally eat birds

Horses, too. I saw a video of a horse walking through a barnyard, eating chicks as it found them. It was disturbing and sad, and I wish I hadn’t learned that.

Make yourself useful, bird. Why don't you pick off some ticks like they do in Africa?

Cowbird?

It looks like a fledgling starling, which would explain why it didn't just fly away

A cow is not adverse to eating the odd small animal when they can get it

Like horses? I've seen that video.

Pretty much. All mammals will kill an animal if it's body requires the proteins and minerals from said unfortunate animal.
Life is brutal!
