Interesting concept, making the normally piscivore or bivavevore oviraptors an analogue to a very carnivorous creature. Though how would that fare with their heavily derived jaws, and mostly-lack of cutting teeth?

Well, the teeth-like structures are for bone-smashing, but they still sport a sharp, eagle-ish beak (like the terror birds). They'd eat with more of the pinch-tear hawk action then cutting teeth mammal action.
