Pretty normal. My buddy Dave is the one who told me about his sulcata that hunted and ate the gophers. I have seen video of wild Galops "hunting"' or rather "ambush squashing" Darwin's finches and eating them. Bert Langerwerf would use a band saw to cut up frozen turkeys and chickens to feed his tegus. Then he'd throw the leftover parts and bones in with his sulcatas. They ate it all up with no I'll effect. In my "Crying Tortoise" book it says that a lot of animals crawl into the sulcata burrows and die during the hot dry season and the sulcatas feast upon the carcasses.
So you've got a normal tortoise there. Nothing to worry about. Might want to do a fecal check every once in a while, but most bird parasites won't be able to survive in a reptile anyway.
