what do titmice feel when they eat sparrows?

hi @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world ! I was told titmice eat sparrows. what do they feel when they’re ripping out a fellow small bird? do they understand titmice and sparrows are kinda alike? do they have bad feelings about killing them for eating, then? or are they completely indifferent?

    Dolphins are considered very intelligent, along with chimps, and they both eat other animals. Hell, dolphins will bite a fish in half and use the head to jerk off with. That’s not to say they can’t feel empathy for other creatures, but can we tell? Have we observed it?
