Badgers are opportunistic feeders and primarily consume insects, small mammals, fruits, and roots. While they may occasionally prey on the eggs or young of ground-nesting birds, such as geese or chickens, they do not typically hunt adult birds. If food sources are scarce, a badger might scavenge on carrion, but they are not known as significant predators of geese or chickens.
