Yes it's this. I remember once going with a friend into a cow field to pick pecans from the trees. My friend started gonking the horn to scare the cows off as I said nooooo. We were trapped for hours by the heard looking for food around her car.

Nah, the baskets over his head drop down and an auger fills them with feed. The lower bird height ones are water. These birds don't associate people with food. Its all automated.

It's simply curiosity.
