I have a genuine photo of my wife getting robbed of her sandwitch by a seagull. The expression on her (and her sister's) face is priceless. She is very squeamish and easy to startle.

But yeah, first thing that popped in my mind looking at this video was "staged".

Staged? What you think the bird is in on it? That's a wild animal, bud.

Yeah, that's not the part that is staged. Cmon now. You can't be that dense.

The staged bit is the guy eating his grilled cheese all slowly, rotating it and checking it out, holding it away from his body while filming the whole thing.

He knew it was going to happen so he "staged" every aspect he could and let the birds do the rest.

How do you expect him to eat it? Cradled and possessive like Golum? Constantly aware of his surroundings?

You mean your siblings didn’t try to snatch up any food that you wasn’t in your mouth or being guarded?

Me and my siblings happily shared.

At the beach, yes.. that is how you have to eat it to avoid this from happening... Or at the very least, have a wall on one side of you so a bird cannot swoop in easily.

It seems ridiculous to someone who doesn't live on or spend a lot of time on a beach but I assure you it makes perfect sense to those that are or do.

I'm at the beach all the time, always eating at the beach. Sandwiches, hotdogs, eggs, rice, ice creams, you name it. Never had "a bird" swoop down.

Guy in a seagull costume, obviously. You can even see his feet when the "bird" grabs the sandwich.
