Seagulls are smart birds and they interact with humans quite a bit
because city seagulls eat handouts from humans meant for pigeons and
geese. Sometimes they dive-bomb people or their cars just for fun.
Tell you a true bald eagle story. Long time ago when I was walking in
university campus from one building to another, out of nowhere a
skeleton of a pigeon fell in front of me. The meat of the pigeon was
stripped bare and there were only a couple of feathers left on the
very tip of the wings so I could easily identity that it was a pigeon.
I looked around and there were nobody anywhere near enough to throw
the skeleton at me and there were no buildings within 200 yards so
nobody could have thrown it from a building. When I looked straight
up, this stupid bald eagle was hovering 30 feet above, and I could see
very clearly that the idiot was sticking its head out looking down at
me. When it saw that I was looking up, it even squawked a few times
before flying away. The idiot probably polished off the pigeon in its
nest, came out to dispose of the garbage, and decided to see if it can
hit me in the head with the pigeon bones. I was studying in the
University of British Columbia in Vancouver, B.C. where we have a
large population of bald eagles nesting in the coastal forest
surrounding the campus.
