I was fishing for Blackfish at the jetty at Barnegat Lighthouse the day after Christmas 1998 and I saw a seagull swoop down and eat a huge live rat. It literally swallowed the damn thing whole.
Wow, so wonderful for you to film this. Surely there was nothing you could of done to scare the seagull away and give the damn pigeon a fighting chance. Cruel!
:O lol no one better show these vids to tyson that guy from animal planet who loves pigions lol i bet he would turn into hulk if he saw all these vids
This seagull is a natural preditor, and would really prefer not to make a kill like this. Humans present food to both pigeon and gull. When the gull sees a small bird, it will make a kill because it knows there are so many pigeon. Gulls see pigeons present when thesy feed, and don't want to compete with them.
we heard a splash in a pond and looked to find a seagull was drowning a pigeon and eating it!!
---
Then a strange girl ran out of no where, dove in the water and saved the pigeon! Then took it home and nursed it back to health and cared for it for the rest of it's life.
so far when looking at random videos ive seen raven eats pigeon seagull eats pigeon and pelican eats pigeon. i guess there not well liked by other birds 0_0
those people with the baby crying are sick and twisted. why would you show your kid this?! now that kid's gonna' grow up into a serial killer. jk lol idk what i'm talking about but it could happen...
I saw something similar in St James's Park in London, however the Seagull wasn't an efficient killer and although battered and bruised it's possible the pigeon escaped in the end.
They are dirty as hell, the eat pretty much anything.
I saw them once eating puke !
They shit pretty much everywhere and ruin everything.
Over the past couple of years, the city of Paris has been struggling to control the population of pigeons so that they do not become a nuisance for co-existence.
In Paris, it may cost you 183€ (230 US$) if you are caught feeding pigeons.
@KuBi4K I've seen a human baby eating a dried up dog turd! Babies are WAY dirtier than pigeons; they also shit pretty much everywhere, but produce far more, and far worse -- ever change a diaper?. If pigeons are "flying rats", then humans are "giant rats on two legs". You produce a rather large amount of shit yourself; true, it's transported elsewhere, thus becoming a 'nuisance' to someone or something else other than you, but that doesn't make you "better" than a pigeon - just "different".
@KuBi4K True. Instead, they shit billions of gallons of sewage into rivers, lakes and oceans; bury billions of tons of garbage in landfills, and pour millions of tons of noxious gases into the atmosphere, year after year after year. Pigeon shit gets washed away with the rain, whereas the mess humans make will stick around for centuries. Seems to me your thinking is rather provincial, not to mention hypocritical.
Art 120 (extract): "It is prohibited to throw or deposit seeds or food in all public places susceptible to attract wild or stray animals, notably the cats and the pigeons."
@asianoutcast87 ... as opposed to humans, who carefully remove all their shit from their cities and just infest the REST of the planet with it. Idiot.
what gets me is people are saying poor thing, when this is neither a poor or good thing it's life and it's natural and it is the way it is. it's nothing anyone should get any emotion response to. 1 animal eating another animal.
Listen folks, I've been at this for about 15yrs now. I've come to see A LOT, in the avian field, in that period of time. This is not "shocking footage" to me, i've seen far worse, in what Gulls are capable of doing. They have extremely strong beaks, and are very predatory, by nature. They simply just don't feed, soley on refuse. I've seen them eat Piping Plovers whole, here on Cape Cod...!!! I have a lot of respect for Gulls, there nature's "clean-up" crew, along with; Raven's Crow's, & Vultures
=p ive seen ... great black... backed sea gull chase puffins and eat them whole i n1 gulp =) and im sure it could probs take out an osprey cus it was damn huge and its beak is like perfect for grabbing and poking things xD
I believe it is when a female gull is super hungry it will make a kill like this. It's hard to tell in this video if it is a male or female gull. When I see a female gull fly here in Seattle, I notice their wings are more sharper than a males wings. Perhaps this allows them to dive down really fast. Gulls always grab my attention because of their action and sounds they make. When gulls land on my ledge with the window closed, it sounds like brass knuckes hitting the glass.
Why would you throw rocks at the seagull, for sustaining its own life? If pigeons are not meant to eat, then be eaten what is their purpose for living? How soon would this seagull starve if you had taken its meal?
It is not your place as a human, to interrupt the course of nature.
No,he did the right thing. Its just nature- just watch and be amazed, and don't be pissed at the seagull.If a hawk was killing and drowning a seagull, you would say the same thing too.
im not a furry. i was suggesting that the pigeon stole or upset the seagul, so it killed, then ate it. kinda like when you borrow money from the mafia, then they come back and beat/kill you.
@ILoveSpamming2k8 More like the other way round, pigeons are fine, seagulls Steal food right from your hand, make really annoying noises and shit EVERYWHERE
Pigeons eat off the floor if you drop something, they are smaller( = less shit) and they arent as noisy
You should see the vid of Pigeon eating a cat
