I love seagulls. There’s something about their attitude. And I wouldn’t put it past them to grab a french fry from your cup, and the next guy’s cup and the cup left unattended, and then resell them. But question is, what do they charge? More french fries?
This is precious! Pop the Sydney Opera House in the background and you have a real life situation. In Sydney they have trained cattle dogs (tethered to their handlers) who patrol the restaurant concourse for thieving seagulls!
They’re crafty, winged thieves! I have a video that I shot a few years ago of a gull on the beach out in Montauk. It was incredible to watch as it would try to remain off the radar and sneak up on sunbathers from behind to snatch snacks from their bags. It would go on for close to ten minutes. If his potential victim would turn their heads or move, the gull would suddenly straighten up and act like it was just chillin’, and then go back into thief mode. It was hilarious to watch. Especially when it would go in for the food and fly away with a bag of Doritos.
I think if you tried to take one they’d cry, “Mine! Mine! Mine!” 😊
That's funny! Another layer to the drawing...
Love it! Thanks for something to brighten an otherwise dreary day.
So funny! (Should share to the Earlham Birders group on FB!)
Perfect
I’m with you! I love gulls of all kinds. They truly are resourceful creatures
This one made me laugh.
So happy it did!
I love this! Saw them thieving in action earlier today.
Those fries look delicious!

That's hysterical, Bry! So true, too.
