A nasty new fad from the post-millennial shit-hawk. It's weird, but reading about this actually raised the profile of the Seagull in my eyes. I always thought of them as the loud, aggressive panhandlers of the sky that are only slightly less annoying than a jonsing crackhead who just saw you put change in your pocket while you are walking out an LCBO. But now I see them as actual predators. Flying wolves who will crew up and Ray Charles anybody they catch slipping. I bet seal pup eyeballs taste like jube-jubes to seagulls.
My first thought was that maybe they are giving the Gulls too much credit in thinking ahead. Birds always go for the eyeballs first in dead animals (fish for example). They seem to prefer it. So either they are just going for their favorite delicacy and figure they can get away with it on a seal pup, or they are actually thinking ahead. Who knows, but there are smart birds out there and they are capable of thinking a couple moves ahead.
Just wait until they understand that humans also have eye balls. I've always thought Hitchhock's "Birds" was a very real scenario.
Yeah seagulls are huge assholes. Surprised to learn they're actually smart. Maybe that's why they always drop huge shits on my car the day after I've had it detailed.
