Don’t eat your sandwich outdoors

      Happened to my son when he was five years old. Eating a hamburger and a Kookaburra flew past at the speed of light and took only the meat. Left the entire burger intact with no meat.

    2. Reminds me of when I had bought french fries on Liberty Island (where the Statue of Liberty resides). The inside seating was packed, so I was forced to go outside, entering what looked liked a scene from Hitchcock’s [The Birds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fJh2gIBOto). I’ve never seen birds as persistant as Liberty Island’s seagulls. All around me, they were snatching food from unsuspecting tourists. I had to hunch over my french fries, guarding them like Gollum with his ring. A seagull hovered statically 3 ft over my shoulder in the high winds searching for the smallest opening. That bird has amazing control over its position.

      Another time, I was eating lunch in the campus courtyard. Various pigeons were milling around. I saw my classmate sit down with his lunch. He accidentally knocks his fork off the table and in the one second it took him to lean over and pick it up, two pigeons had already started eating his lunch. He just stared at them with a disgusted look on his face.

      It’s amazing how birds have adapted and trained themselves to prey upon us.

    3. My mom had a seagull land on a grill that was currently active and hop around to grab a hotdog off of it.

    4. Went to Whitby in the summer and two girls were filming themselves with a tray of chips, it was clear they were deliberately trying to get a vid of a seagull stealing them. By the time it actually happened they’d been there so long the chips must have been stone cold (they were already filming when we sat opposite and we had enough time to eat ours and have a drink – they still hadnt actually eaten anything!).

      It’s nuts what people will do for a few extra clicks.

      Да да совсем не постанова, он крутит бутер именно так чтобы птице было удобнее схватить и потом бросает быстрый взгляд в камеру

    6. That was a pretty slick sneak attack. At that point you just have to say, “well played bird, well played”

      I mean it seems clear that he knew this would happen. Why else is he sitting there filming himself eating a sandwich. And inspecting it carefully before even taking a bite.
