I was doing my thesis research at the time, and it even affected what I was doing, as the wild world was being reconceptualized in terms of tannins and alkaloids, seed edators and dispersers, and so on.

As noted, the fish-like mammals do this as well. Some (but not most) killer whales beach themselves on land or ice to get at sea mammals or penguins, and some dolphins do similar things. The research team reporting on these fish carried out a stable isotopic analysis to see what role Pigeons may play in the diet of these fish.
