In another life I worked in Southampton docks and once had to deal with
a fox (as in similar to dog) that was living on the deck of a laid-up
supertanker and living by catching sea gulls!

Karen,

I doubt that dogs in the wild (or wolves, more appropriately) manage to 
catch a lot of birds. Furthermore, we are talking about a risk, not a 
certainty. I suspect that wild dogs have much shorter lifespans than 
domestic ones, for many reasons, this being one of them.
