As we know change is in the nature of life. So as one living in the animal realm can be reborn in a 'good destination'.So a Deva can be reborn in the best of realms,the human realm.

§ 83. {Iti 3.34
"The human state, monks, is the devas' reckoning of going to a good destination. Having become a human being, acquiring conviction in the Dhamma-&-Vinaya taught by the Tathagata

Conversely

So it is a Deva can be reborn in the best of realms,the human realm.

§ 70. {Iti 3.21; Iti 58
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "I have seen beings who — endowed with bodily misconduct, verbal misconduct, & mental misconduct; who reviled noble ones, held wrong views and undertook actions under the influence of wrong views — at the break-up of the body, after death, have re-appeared in the plane of deprivation, the bad destination, the lower realms, in hell.
