Shocking -- my pet herring gull was disturbed too. She's very much afraid of her own kind anyway (much more than of dogs!) and outdoors I never leave her alone. After all the violent society of seagulls reminds me of our human one: We're no better and once were even cannibals as well.
This is a great video and the first I know of to present gull behavior scientifically. The calls, or sounds, gulls make are talked about. This video presents gull behavior in terms of the colony, an off-shore location. I see the Western-Herring hybrd gulls here in Seattle evolving and displaying behavior that is not covered in this video. The gulls interaction with human environment needs to be documented too, just like this video covered colony-life, urban-life of gulls needs this too!
@mariojragucci2 Just go to my channel. Not because of my 3 uploads. But I guess my favorite-collection might interest you. At first I bookmarked examples of humans who nurse or even adopt a seagull. But then follow very interesting encounters between humans and wild herring gulls. It's amazing!
When I was in high school I worked at a marina on Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon. There were many herring gulls around and I saw all kinds of gull behavior. The most interesting behavior I saw was when two gulls would pick up each end of a mooring line (5/8" yellow rope) and have a "tug of war" there on the dock. After seeing them do this several times I brought a camera and took some pictures.
Fascinating. I had no idea!

Gulls are clean, fluffy, windy birds.
