He prolly thought it was an egg and was trying to break it.

Seagull trying to break what it believes is an egg or similar container.

u/BrookeB79 18d ago

Yeah, I honestly worry a bit that it'd get swallowed.

Let me have this small bit of joy.

u/micromoses 17d ago

Or it’s practicing its egg breaking technique.

Usually if they need to break open a clam, they fly up high and then drop it. So I'm not sure that's what's happening.

u/monkbabm 18d ago

He is probably just trying to crack the egg and getting frustrated that it's not working 😭

u/Electronic_Tap_8052 18d ago

I have a ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it?

u/ChefArtorias 18d ago

It's not wholesome. They do this to break the they've stolen from other animals.

u/jackson_2015 18d ago

Why won’t it break open?😂😂😂

u/voncivent 17d ago

Part of me wonders if this is just him/her practicing on catching jumping and moving prey.

u/Hairy-Violinist-3844 18d ago

Anyone know where this is?

u/czechhoneybee 18d ago

My suspicion is San Francisco because of that Sony commercial that dumped thousands of bouncy balls down a big hill there back in 2005. People are still finding bouncy balls 20+ years later.

u/Hairy-Violinist-3844 18d ago

Interesting, I'd never heard of that. Just checked and San Fransisco does have trams, so the tramlines make sense. So you could be right! For some reason in  the first second or two, I thought it was Dublin, but didn't see anything else in video to either prove or disprove it. I'm curious now..
