They have been known to even raid bird nests and feed on chicks and eggs.

I'm going to assume by the category selected, "Polar Bears," that is what you are speaking of... In this case, polar bears eat a variety of things, from small fish to whales trapped under the arctic ice. They will also kill and eat seals/sea lions when they pop up out of their breathing holes in the ice.
