Seagulls are becoming 'bad' with a series of outrageous behaviors, caused by humans!

Usually, white albatrosses flying around on the beach give us the impression of elegance and loveliness. In some western coastal cities, this bird has become an indispensable characteristic symbol.

However, behind the good impressions of seagulls is the harsh truth. They have a habit of blatant 'robbing'. French fries, hamburgers, ice cream. in the hands of tourists suddenly fly without wings. The culprit is none other than the seagulls, also known as seagulls .

Seagulls love to eat ice cream on tourists' hands.

However, researchers have recently discovered that global warming has resulted in a wide range of environmental problems. At the same time, the seagulls showed signs of behavioral and behavioral changes. They are becoming more and more "brain", like to destroy, can even do cruel behavior such as devouring young birds.

Climate change leads to behavior change

In July 2019, English gulls made headlines because they "captured" a Chihuahua in Devonshire, were found to have eaten pigeons alive and even hunted rabbits.

Natalie Williams, the owner of the missing Chihuahua, tracked down the roof where the gulls roost, then found a pile of creepy-looking corpses and animal hair, and even a gull. The sea is bitten to death by other seagulls.

Regarding the increasing propensity for aggressive behavior and the reasons why gulls prey on birds and other mammals, scientists believe this is closely related to global environmental changes.

As global temperatures rise, more plankton and fish migrate to deeper, colder waters. That means gulls that live around shallow waters have difficulty finding food.

In addition, the deterioration of British fisheries in recent years has also contributed to the shortage of food in seagulls. Under this situation, many birds have had to go inland in search of new food sources.

In the UK, a Bristol city resident captured this image of seagulls catching pigeons. After the photo was shared on Twitter, many people left comments recounting their experience of seeing similar scenes.

From that can be made: It seems that other birds have become the usual food of gulls. Even people in Devonshire have seen many scenes of seagulls mercilessly devouring their own kind.

Outside a restaurant in the Cornwall Shire, a seagull is eating pigeon meat, causing diners to tremble in fear. Along the coast of Northern Bergland, many people have seen seagulls capture and eat young birds even when the mother bird is nearby.

Excessive behavior: Drunk, vomiting, robbery

Even more remarkable is that these gulls don't just love the 'smell of bird's blood'. Many people across the UK have seen drunken seagulls fall off roofs, stagger along the road and even vomit on people trying to save them.

In the summer of 2019, a person recorded the sight of seagulls 'partying' on Bournemouth beach with wines and beers that tourists have not drank.

It seems that drunken seagulls are not much different from humans!

What was even more eye-opening was that one of the bottles of wine contained urine and had been drunk by the birds. It seems that drunken seagulls are not much different from humans!

But they don't just drink human leftovers, a seagull has a more 'malignant' expression, gradually learning to snatch alcohol from people's hands.

Fiona Heath, from Glasgow (Scotland), shared her experience of being a victim of seagulls on Twitter: 'A seagull just flew over to drink and spilled my wine glass. They didn't leave me a drop."

The British Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) has 'received treatment' for nearly 30 crazy gulls in two weeks. At first, the group of people in the association thought that the birds had a new neurological disease, but it all became clear when they discovered that the birds had recovered on their own after vomiting.

Jo Daniel, the head of the organization, responsible for rescuing drunken seagulls carried out the first campaign in the summer of 2019.

'Those seagulls were like drunks, emitting a strong smell of alcohol, making our rescue vehicle smell like a mobile bar,' Jo recalls.

People want to "expel" seagulls from their habitat.

Virgil Turner, a firefighter in Dorsetshire, also recounted the story of the drunken gull rescue: 'When we arrived, a gull had fallen off the roof. It stood shaking its head and suddenly tried to fly as I approached.

Later, Turner caught the 'fool bird losing consciousness' , the gull was suddenly stimulated and vomited on the fireman.

However, not all drunken seagulls are alcoholics. There is another possibility.

Around July every year, a large number of "flying ants" overwhelm England. These ants contain formic acid, which can be ingested by gulls and behave almost like hallucinogens.

Some people see seagulls flying around like crazy in the air, many of them show cruel aggressive behavior.

Protect or destroy this "malicious" animal?

In the UK, many elderly people have been pecked in the head by seagulls, some postmen have been attacked multiple times and even dogs have been 'hit the council' to death by gulls.

July every year is the time when gulls become most aggressive, because this period is an important period for their young to develop until they are strong enough to fly out of the nest.

Because of these increasingly outrageous behaviors, the Worcestershire county government even hired professional "gull control officers" to deal with these birds. Some other localities call gulls "ferocious flying rats", calling for the expulsion of these harmful animals.

However, the attitude of animal rescue organizations is different.

Wild Bird Aid, a rescue group on the Isle of Wight, posted pictures of six dead seagulls on social media. Accordingly, they believe that the drivers tried to run them to death.

Under British law, those who intentionally kill or capture seagulls face up to six months in prison or a £5,000 fine.

However, in case the seagull is drunk or poisoned by eating poisonous ants scattered on the road, it is not enough to determine that the driver intentionally killed this protected bird.

People want to "expel" seagulls from their habitat. Animal protection groups try to protect this bird. Two currents of opinion have been fiercely contested.

From a broader perspective, the cause of seagulls becoming "bad" is climate change, or is it man-made. If in the future, this bird shows a more dangerous expression, the authorities must definitely take measures to deal with it thoroughly.
