Now, I can see how humans got to apex predator status. After all, we kill stuff all the time.
Killing stuff is practically our favorite thing to do.
Pigeons? How do they end up with no one eating them?
I think plenty of things ate them, they just bred like tribbles.

Yeah, but only when they were massed a million wide across the sky. I'm not sure if that makes them orgiastic or kind of shy.
Natural predators:
The bird's only natural predators were hawks and eagles.
Although, I bet that owls took a few too.
And even if we didn't slaughter them they would have suffered because we destroyed their natural habitat. (By clearing all so much of the forests between the Atlantic and the Mississippi.)
Is there a SciFi movie about a mad scientist who harvests passenger pigeon DNA and regrows them á la
Jurassic Park,
and then they breed rapidly á la
Gremlins
and begin attacking people á la
The Birds
? If not, why?

That must've been like a buffet line for the raptors.
If not, why?
Have you seen
Night of the Lepus?
Because horror films about not-horrible animals tend to not ping the primal fear centers in the brain.
P-C, you should totally propose that to SciFi. Perhaps you could include the Giant Auk and the Sea Mink. Ooh and the Carolina Parakeet!
Well, maybe something like the Attack of the Were-Rabbit. . .
What if movie casting.
Some of these I totally see--Chow Yun Fat as Morpheus in
The Matrix,
and others make the movie way too different.
I think the turning down that surprised me the most was Kate Hudson picking
The Four Feathers
over
Spiderman.
I just .... man, I didn't even
like
Spiderman.
I still would have taken the role.
Daniel Day Lewis would've made a good Aragorn.
Not that I'm unhappy with Viggo, but DDL would've been good.
