Seagulls Acting Very Strange (Picture Set: 5 Pictures)

reply to post by 9Cib27

Perhaps it's not part of their regular diet, these palm seed..they must be hungry for some reason. On the
other hand ( I live in FL now ) while up north..mid atlantic area years ago..saw them land as a pack on
a parking lot..someone told me they travel like that from garbage dump to dump or wherever they go.
We might need to look up some info about gulls on the web etc..

Gulls are not insectivorous, not at all, sorry, (unless ingesting insects coincidentally to scraps they are eating, maggots or stubborn flies on food scraps etc.).

I disagree. At the times when the flying ants swarm I would regularly see columns of seagulls flying around the ant swarm. They are opportunists and wouldn't miss this protein feast should the opportunity arise. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has seen gulls having an insect feast

I'm not seeing any 'odd behaviour' seagulls will eat anything....

Is this your video OP?

That was more the Albatross I think
Which is why it is supposed to be unlucky to kill one.
As in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

I am, by the way, an Ancient Mariner
