Imagine an alien race that's not an apex predator on it's planet and can reproduce only once in their life. Each female can have either one child or twins. Population grows but really slowly, so each colony member is extremely valuable. Killing another member of your own species is a taboo far worse than among humans. Our aliens can fly, so air is their natural expansion direction. They develop sophisticated technology to evade working the fields and run from dinosaur-like predators hunting them on the ground. At one point aliens realize they can use their planes to drop giant rocks (that later become bombs) on the predators and shoot them with large bore cannons. Anything smaller than 88cal is pointless, because of size of their opponents. Dinosaurs go extinct, civilization flourishes. The aliens start conventional space travel with rockets and visit nearby planets. It just so happens that primitive civilization of dinosaur cousins lives on planet next to theirs.
Aviants freak out and go into genocide mode. Their guns and bombs were enough to kill pyramid building, sword-welding dinos with ease. At this point aliens feel like gods, bringing death and destruction from the skies. They develop Jihad-centered religion with Bible telling them to imminently kill any life threatening the pan-planetary colony. Poking around the system in search for mineable asteroids they discover a wormhole leading to solar system. Watching the Earth from distance they discover that we are capable of flying things into space, which terrifies them. A 100-spaceship fleet armed similarly to pre-WW1 dreadnoughts is send to bomb us from above just to discover that any malnourished Syrian rebel with heat-seeking Igla launcher can take down their fragile anti-gravity engines causing the ship to drop off the sky.
