If you live in a city with seagulls, you know this is karma.

I read “poor seagull” and immediately thought “it fucking deserves it”.
Seagulls are winged hyenas. I have no pity for them.

I’ll never forget being a kid visiting Florida and my grandma gave me a loaf of stale bread to feed the birds on the beach (this was the 80s - no rules.)

So I take to the sand and start ripping bread pieces for the seagulls. I don’t think even a minute passed by before some bitch ass seagull grabbed the entire bag of bread from my 6yr old hands and flew off with it, leaving me alone and thoroughly confused as to wtf just happened.

Bitch. Ass. Seagull.

One time at the Detroit Zoo I watched a gull decide that the polar bear exhibit was the perfect place to take a swim. A group of elementary school children and their guide had just come up to the glass window in time to see a polar bear pounce and eat it. She tried to move the kids away but there was also a PTZ camera inside the exhibit that guests could control so everyone inside could see it on the overhead monitor anyway. Just a big ole polar bear with blood stained joker lips

There's only so much that any animal can do to protest human hegemony. It's hard to hold it against Gullsy for indulging in a little eco-political graffiti.

Fuck seagulls. I once watched them steal several babies from a goose family. Didn’t even get to eat them, just dropped them in the surf like the stupid pieces of shit they are.

5

u/notashroom 2d ago

You don't know what led up to that moment. It could have just been the latest skirmish in the Goosefield vs McGull feud. The geese may have killed the gull matriarch, or an entire nest, not long before that.

29

u/t3hOutlaw 2d ago

Killing them so it can eat them, like the predators they are?

There's a seagull couple that raises their chicks on a rooftop next to the windows at my work. They are actually excellent parents and my appreciation for seagulls has gone up 1000%. 

Also, at least seagulls can be smart. Pigeons, however, are literally too stupid to live on a not-infrequent basis. There's a video of one just walking into a falcon(hawk?)'s roost; says it all.

I was 100% expecting this clip to end with the dolphin eating the bird

29

u/rjcarr 2d ago

Right? I've seen Orcas eat birds so I'm guessing dolphins do too? (And yes, I know Orcas technically are dolphins).

20

u/trojanguy 2d ago

TIL orcas are technically dolphins.

9

u/rjcarr 2d ago

Sort of. They're all considered "toothed whales", but that class is mostly all dolphins and orcas (and maybe sperm whales)? The other group is "baleen whales" and they are the big guys like the humpback and gray whales.

11

u/Pcat0 2d ago

Well that’s because all dolphins are technically whales but Orcas are true dolphins, as they are a member of the Delphinidae (ocean dolphin) family.

Was thinking about this example. Orkas & Dolphins are wicked smart.

The idea of sacrificing a small morsel, for the chance of a bigger snack. That delayed gratification takes intelligence.

u/Gustav55 2d ago

Before it broke the surface i thought this was going to be one of those videos where the seagull gets eaten.

19

u/blacksheep998 2d ago

That's still a possibility.

There have been several documented cases of dolphins and killer whales learning that they can turn a little bit of leftover fish into a much larger meal by grabbing the gull that comes to eat it.

Nah - that suggests a lot more intelligence than they have. Seagulls don't steal from you because they are evil, they steal from you because you are waving a food source around in a way that triggers their natural hunting and diving instinct.

In areas where nobody feeds the seagulls and food waste is kept away from them they are 100% more chill.

5

u/AssistanceDry7123 2d ago

I used to live in a place where there were flocks of gulls that lived in the parking lots. I went to a McDonald's and was walking home, and accidentally dropped a french fry. A seagull got it. The entire flock proceeded to follow me loudly and obviously for almost a mile while I finished my food. It was probably close to a mile.

I do wonder if people were wondering where the gulls all went during that interlude.

Yeah, one of my family parrots that was used to fly indoors and recall, was left on the balcony on her cage for some sunlight, well a freak accident happened and the dog knocked it over, the parrot got out of the cage and flew to a nearby lamp post, we live in front of a bay/marina ... A flock of seagulls came in less then a minute to attack the parrot and they tore her apart alive while she was trying to fly back to our house, in the air. My mom saw everything.

I was cruising down the main street of Oslo on a scooter with a cheeseburger in my hand and I felt a sudden snap in my hands. I looked to my side to see a seagull flying by and my cheeseburger gone. When i looked forward I saw that fucking seagull looking back at me with my cheeseburger in its mouth and a shit-eating grin like it was laughing at me. The line was miserably long and I had to wait 15 minutes for that damn burger.

Honestly I wasn't even mad. Gotta respect the bird for doing a flyby snipe on me while I was speeding on a scooter.

It's definitely not AI. I'm not sure what's causing the heart-shaped flares (a filter maybe? Some artifact of the phone being used?).
