most carnivores want to eat them or their eggs at some point and being ground based means active defense
cant fly away or out run the predators, cant have the nest high up in safety or leave it behind

stupid sexy mammals with their evolutionso yeah ground based brawler with some spurs
stupid birds of prey only know one trick and cant deal with other things
