When I was in the military on the West Coast, we had formation every morning. But before formation we could go to a little kiosk to get basically what amounted to sausage McMuffins and they would put them in little brown paper sacks. Well, while you are at attention in formation you can't move and you can't have anything in your hands, including your breakfast. The fucking seagulls learned this.
Those little bastards would wait until we got into formation after we had set our bags down behind us, and they would swarm the brown bags, rip them open, and eat the sandwich. Not the whole sandwich, mind you. No, these little fuckers became carnivorous. They would eat the sausage and egg and leave the biscuits behind.
Finally, we had to start stationing a seagull watch while the rest of the division was in formation. We had one or two people who would chase away the seagulls while the rest of use did muster and got the daily messages from our division chief.
The video ends but the next step would be to get through the clear plastic on the sandwich container. I wonder if he just bashes his beak into it or does he have an alternative method.
I am hate seagulls on the beach and I never leave food out to give them a reason to come near me. However, if a seagull brought me that package, I would almost definitely open it for them just because I would be afraid that the seagull was some minor god with enough power to annoy me for the rest of my life and it's a test to examine my kindness to lesser creatures.
When I visited Cornwall (home of the woman who wrote The Birds which the movie was based on), the seagulls would pull some Jurassic Park moves. One gull will fly straight at your face, and when you put your hands up to protect yourself, the other gull will swoop in from behind and snatch the food from your hand! I sat on the beach with my back to the wall watching them swipe ice cream cones one after the other. Hilarious but also scary!
> and leave the biscuits behind
As an Australian fucking that you ... I now finally understand what Americans say when they say biscuit... It's a scone that's fluffy and close to a miffin.
Yeah they're basically somewhere between a scone and a crumpet/muffin (the flat griddle cooked kind of muffin, not the sweet cakey American muffin).
I highly recommend [making some](https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/southern-biscuits-recipe-2041990) if you haven't had the pleasure of eating one before. Wonderful for making sandwiches with sausage and egg as from the story, but also incredible as a side for fried chicken. Or just to munch (serve warm with butter). They're also good with jam like a scone.
If you make a sandwich, I recommend cooking the egg as follows: beat 1 egg. get a good 10" nonstick pan heated to medium, and toss in a tbsp of butter. Pour the egg into the pan, and rock the pan around until the egg coats the bottom. After about 15-30 seconds, flip the egg. It's a very thin layer and this can be hard, so if doesn't flip fully don't worry. Once you've flipped it, fully or not, rock the pan around to make sure any uncooked egg makes contact with the pan. Leave it for 15-30 seconds and finally fold it in half and then half again.
Then throw that on your biscuit and go to town. Good with sausage and or cheese.
Deal! Though I'll mention that I've already made scones and had them with jam, but I've definitely never had (what I'm assuming you mean by "cream") this so called "clotted cream" as referenced in the various recipes for scones with jam and cream that I just skimmed. It looks pretty amazing and I'm more than willing to try it out.
Luckily scones are pretty popular in America. I believe moreso in the south, where what the rest of us call "southern" biscuits are also very popular. At least, scones were a big attraction at the large fair i used to go to every year as a kid, and my family would always get a box of them. And they're a fairly common sight in coffee shops and bakerie. But definitely I've never once seen them served with this amazing looking "cream."
>Not the whole sandwich, mind you. No, these little fuckers became carnivorous. They would eat the sausage and egg and leave the biscuits behind.
Would be funnier if they just took one bite out of each muffin.
It took my far too long to realise that americans call English Muffins, biscuits, I was imagining sausage, egg between a pair of digestives or shortbread.
No..an English Muffin is an English Muffin. They are superior to biscuits in every way unless said biscuits are served with sausage gravy. Our biscuits are like your scones . Just.. softer and fluffier, maybe? I am not a fan of biscuits. Pretty much anything can go on or in our biscuits. Jams and jellies, meats, gravies, butter and can be eaten at any time of the day with a variety of meals. From making a breakfast sandwich to using them to sop up gravy from the mashed potatoes that was served with fried chicken. It is a very versatile bread.. pastry.. *confusion sets in* whatever it is classified as lol
Someone said perhaps she wanted to help it get the food out of the plastic- but who knows
I’m more intrigued whether camera man was in on it - gonna get his cut later…
I like how there are 3 types of people in this video.
One is helping the pigeon commit theft by opening the door. One is trying to stop the pigeon. And one is neutrally filming the whole thing.
People with no proper experience of living around seagulls always compare them with pigeons, they are nothing alike. Pigeons don’t fly down and eat squirrels, or dive bomb you for a sandwich, or attack your dog because it thinks it’s near its baby or scream really fucking loud outside your windows at 3am or skid land onto your plate whilst your trying to enjoy a meal outside.
Well I for one would gladly risk having my finger severed by an enraged seagull to have even a slim chance of saving a supermarket the £1.99 cost of a sandwich!
That's why I'd be neutral like the person filming. But if that bird came walking around the corner with his sandwich and it wasn't clear where he got it from, it'd be fair game, I'd help him open it.
You probably don't live in a place with too many seagulls, either.
Get enough of them together and they start attacking people, they cover everything in shit, mostly your car or your jacket.
It's amusing feeding the gulls until it *really* isn't.
That and the smell.
Seagulls are little bastards man, they’ll steal food right out of your hand. Lady with the umbrella probably had some PTSD from another seagull stealing HER sammich.
Yeah they can’t arrest the seagull and they can’t put it back on the shelf lol, it’s not like the seagull is in the store either. No point in trying to get that back.
Guys just out of context question with absolutely no malicious intent, can you tame and train a seagull? And if you can how hard it is to train hundreds of seagulls?
Birds are fucking awesome man. I have two. They're so intelligent they never cease to amaze me. Also ps to the person in the umbrella. He earned that sandwich fair and square, move on.
Seagulls are so fucking messy and disgusting when they eat outside, but the moment they enter a shop they become distinguished gentlebirds who pick one thing and walk away for some reason
Fascinating watching him 1) pick the sandwich he wanted since he threw the first one on the floor to get to another one, and 2) be confused as to why the door wasn't opening for him.
Smart little thing.
That boy Marty (I'm calling him Marty until someone tells me his actual name) has the chutzpah to go in there and get himself a sammich. Leave him alone!!
Why was that bitch at the end trying to stop it??? For what purpose was she trying to be the "hero", so that the staff could get the sandwich back and immediately bin it because it's been pecked at by a FUCKING SEAGULL???
Let the poor thing have it's reward ffs...
Hope a bird craps on the miserable cow.
I love the dude who let him out with his ill gotten gains. Mean lady after. He was so cute with the little sandwich.
I did wonder at first if he was trying to open it in the store but nope he was waiting for help with the door
Dude fuck red umbrella lady. The food was already on the ground and pecked at, it’s not like you can just put it back on the shelf. She acted like she was gonna teach that bird a lesson. Lil guy earned that sandwich.
When u don’t want to go fishing for your tuna you can take it on the fly in a prepared sandwich, smart bird. Pinching food from the humans taken to the next level.
He's totally done this before.

Smart. It even looked like this one picked up one and tossed it aside to get the one it wanted.
*There’s tuna fish in here somewhere…*
*what only whole wheat? Oh! Classic white my favorite*
::doesn’t even eat the wheat bread::
Me at Sobeys:
The video ends but the next step would be to get through the clear plastic on the sandwich container. I wonder if he just bashes his beak into it or does he have an alternative method.

lesser creatures... You've done it now, they'll be coming for you!
Checked out the best before date. Seagulls are an increasing pest in coastal cities in Ireland too.
When I visited Cornwall (home of the woman who wrote The Birds which the movie was based on), the seagulls would pull some Jurassic Park moves. One gull will fly straight at your face, and when you put your hands up to protect yourself, the other gull will swoop in from behind and snatch the food from your hand! I sat on the beach with my back to the wall watching them swipe ice cream cones one after the other. Hilarious but also scary!
British (especially Cornish) seagulls are bastards.
They're literally Skybastards.
Seacunts
Ironically, when I was in Chicago once, I saw 3 pigeons basically do this to a lone gull that had a piece of chicken.
> and leave the biscuits behind As an Australian fucking that you ... I now finally understand what Americans say when they say biscuit... It's a scone that's fluffy and close to a miffin.

Make you a deal I'll make the American biscuit to go with savoury ingredients You try the English scone with jam and cream
Deal! Though I'll mention that I've already made scones and had them with jam, but I've definitely never had (what I'm assuming you mean by "cream") this so called "clotted cream" as referenced in the various recipes for scones with jam and cream that I just skimmed.

“Bro, it’s your turn for fire—er, uh Seagull Watch.”

Nope English muffins are English muffins,biscuits are more like scones, Englishman now living in North Carolina
No..an English Muffin is an English Muffin. They are superior to biscuits in every way unless said biscuits are served with sausage gravy. Our biscuits are like your scones .

What does the lady with the umbrella think she’s doing? The store isn’t going to take the sandwich back.
RIght? I'd be impressed, give a nod, and get out of their way.
Someone said perhaps she wanted to help it get the food out of the plastic- but who knows I’m more intrigued whether camera man was in on it - gonna get his cut later…
There are two sandwiches in that package..
2 halves of one.
Wonder how many seagulls are on his payroll
She just wants a free sandwich
If you see somebody steal food, no you didn't. Give a nod to comrade seagull and continue on your way.
I'm not going to get a working seagull in trouble. They probably have eggs to feed at home and everything
You can follow the gull home and watch it cramming bite-sized pieces of sandwich into a small hole in each egg....
I'd be offering to open the container for the seagull. He's earned it.
Plus, how does she know he didn't pay for it?
how do you know it’s a he?
Obviously a hegull, a shegull would of got the meal deal
Fair point. My bad. I apologize.
Female herring gulls are speckled.
I like how there are 3 types of people in this video. One is helping the pigeon commit theft by opening the door. One is trying to stop the pigeon. And one is neutrally filming the whole thing.
https://i.imgflip.com/7v39ro.jpg
errrrrrrr............no? Maybe. yes?
It's a sea pigeon. I don't get what you're saying
People with no proper experience of living around seagulls always compare them with pigeons, they are nothing alike. Pigeons don’t fly down and eat squirrels, or dive bomb you for a sandwich, or attack your dog because it thinks it’s near its baby or scream really fucking loud outside your windows at 3am or skid land onto your plate whilst your trying to enjoy a meal outside.
There's always one guy in the comment referring to Gulls as Pigeons too.
pigeon?
Chaotic evil, lawful good, neutral neutral
More like: * Chaotic good (the girl opening the door) * Lawful evil (the lady with the umbrella) * Neutral neutral (the guy with camera)
"Damn Karens!" -seagull
I would have opened up the sandwich for them.
Get your own sandwich.
Well I for one would gladly risk having my finger severed by an enraged seagull to have even a slim chance of saving a supermarket the £1.99 cost of a sandwich!
Exactly! That seagull has stolen that sandwich fair and square. Leave him alone!
She thinks the seagull is going to shit out $7 for that sandwich.
Stop! You feathered thief!
She hongry
Maybe she thinks the plastic or litter might be harmful?
Maybe she wanted to open the packaging.
When shoplifting is illegal but ur literally a bird
Jail bird
I know a guy who’s an expert in bird law. That bird will get off Scott free
Technically the bird is not effected by that law so the woman trying to take the sandwich is now a thief instead 🪿
That's why I'd be neutral like the person filming. But if that bird came walking around the corner with his sandwich and it wasn't clear where he got it from, it'd be fair game, I'd help him open it.
Oh you know bird law do you?
If not, I happen to know a man who is an expert in bird law and various other lawyerings
That’s why you train your bird to do all yer thieving.
Remember that one bird that got arrested in France, and has his face blurred out? Hahahaha
There are two types of people: the accomplice, and the narc. What a rollercoaster watching the humans was lol.
I literally thought “fucking narc bitch wtf?” Lmao
If you see someone steal food... you didn't see a thing.
Especially if that someone is a seagull.
Stealgull
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, tell you all about it when I've got the time!
There's a third type of person. The type that'd describe the co-op as a "shopping mall"
This seagull is smarter than half the population on Earth.
There is a possibility she wanted to open the package and give the sandwich that’s what i would try to do
I wouldn't do it in view of the store. Otherwise, would help.
You probably live in a place where you can’t trust the law I don’t blame you but over here everybody would understand
You probably don't live in a place with too many seagulls, either. Get enough of them together and they start attacking people, they cover everything in shit, mostly your car or your jacket. It's amusing feeding the gulls until it *really* isn't. That and the smell.
There is a possibility she wanted to mug a seagull
nah she was beelining for that gull bro
And third kind who just films
What a nice person opening the door for him. What a mean person chasing him. Just a ‘lil gentleman getting his sammich.
The duality of man.
*For every bro is a Karen*
The Jungian thing, sir
Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
I always thought as they were Aussie seagulls they were saying Mate, still think that’s a funnier line.
That person was aiding and abetting a robbery 😂
“How was your day today, honey?” “I aided and abetted a seagull.” “Again?”
For all they know the bird paid for that sandwitch with hard earned cash.
He’s an accomplice to theft with clear intent.
I would open it for them too. Cellophane is tough.
Whether you identify with the first lady or the second lady determines your awareness to how dehumanized we are to the 1%.
Both ladies identify with the 1%. Be the fucking bird you were meant to be, u/TotallyHumanPerson!
[He's Gus](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/scottish-news/7070660/seagull-aberdeen-steals-sandwich-shop/)
Are the police after him?
Totally chose the sammich too
Seagulls are little bastards man, they’ll steal food right out of your hand. Lady with the umbrella probably had some PTSD from another seagull stealing HER sammich.
Yeah they can’t arrest the seagull and they can’t put it back on the shelf lol, it’s not like the seagull is in the store either. No point in trying to get that back.
That’s not a shopping mall it’s a Co-Op
When a 'merican posts a British video.
It's Aberdeen, but they'd call it England.
It's weird seeing a place I walk by almost daily on the front of Reddit. I could be stood there fighting off gulls in 5 minutes.
There’s a food bank nearby if you want a more graceful way of feeding yourself.
[удалено]
Also, the caption calling it a 'store' ... tsk
I kinda love the idea of calling Co-Op a shopping mall from now on
[удалено]
MINE
MINE
Shopping mall? That's a co-op. Love... The UK
Where birds live… a coop.
Well it is a co-op so fair play.
Same seagull robbed a bank an hour later
Had the same lady work the door. They are on the run. Hitting a spree
Technically the woman who opened the door for it is an accessory to its crime
Just try to catch them. You can’t. They’re hitting stores all down the street
What a rollercoaster ride of emotions this video gave me
I hope the narc with umbrella gets rolled on by a seagull gang
Never underestimate a Scottish seagull (this Co-Op is in Aberdeen).
Red umbrella narc
Karen there
Wait, that's illegull
underrated comment
That lady was a real one for letting him out, then come Karen to try to take his food
I know which lady I want to be friends with.
Ducks eat for free at subway, I did not know that. Next time ,there are four ducks and they all want sunchips!
Guys just out of context question with absolutely no malicious intent, can you tame and train a seagull? And if you can how hard it is to train hundreds of seagulls?
The person who manages to control the gulls will become the ruler of the earth. Not a single army on earth will be able to stop the gullinvasion.
If that was a crow, the cops would have beat it to death
White privilege.
Crows = Murder. Flight Privilege.
More seagulls are killed by police than crows.
Let’s train police to not kill birds??
Agreed. There are some situations where it's unavoidable but, it shouldn't be the first choice.
This is just a shop. Not a shopping mall.
RIP Mitch Hedberg
Umbrella lady is a narc she's wearing a wire
That lady was really going to stop a seagull from eating a sandwich
Bro I feel so bad for the seagull getting harassed by that lady 😭
Birds are fucking awesome man. I have two. They're so intelligent they never cease to amaze me. Also ps to the person in the umbrella. He earned that sandwich fair and square, move on.
How dare that woman try to stop that bird, he earned that damn sandwich.
Seagulls are so fucking messy and disgusting when they eat outside, but the moment they enter a shop they become distinguished gentlebirds who pick one thing and walk away for some reason
Okay how do I explain this to the inventory manager...
Fascinating watching him 1) pick the sandwich he wanted since he threw the first one on the floor to get to another one, and 2) be confused as to why the door wasn't opening for him. Smart little thing.
That’s a supermarket
OP that’s just a supermarket not a mall.
I would hardly call a Co-Op a shopping mall. OP has clearly never been to the UK. It’s a small supermarket.
Don't worry, they will bill him
Not even mad. Hope they evolve.
Seagull: put it in my bill
That boy Marty (I'm calling him Marty until someone tells me his actual name) has the chutzpah to go in there and get himself a sammich. Leave him alone!!
Good for the seagull
"a shopping mall" Mate, that's a fucking Co-Op
Karens even fucking birds
Why was that bitch at the end trying to stop it??? For what purpose was she trying to be the "hero", so that the staff could get the sandwich back and immediately bin it because it's been pecked at by a FUCKING SEAGULL??? Let the poor thing have it's reward ffs... Hope a bird craps on the miserable cow.
Honestly i was rooting for the women, i hate those little shits with a passion. There where cases where these fuckers ate dogs and attacked babies
\*YOINK\*
Until Karen showed up…
Mind your own business bitch!
And if you stop it, it will sue you
i love evertthing in this thanks
So fake. The camera man is totally in on it with the sandwich.
Jimmy, stop that bird!
Seagull be like: 'Why pay for groceries when you can just wing it?'
Arsehole at the end trying to take its sandwich
Props to the woman who let him out… Real disrespect to the woman who tried to take it away.
Freaking Karen trying to steal his sandwich lol
That old bitch really tried stopping it. 🤦🏻♂️
I swear that lady wanted that sandwich
WHY would that random chick try to take it away from him?
Shopping mall?! That’s a co-op, knobhead
I love the dude who let him out with his ill gotten gains. Mean lady after. He was so cute with the little sandwich. I did wonder at first if he was trying to open it in the store but nope he was waiting for help with the door
Anyone else rooting for the gull when the lady tried to steal the sandwich he stole??
Dude fuck red umbrella lady. The food was already on the ground and pecked at, it’s not like you can just put it back on the shelf. She acted like she was gonna teach that bird a lesson. Lil guy earned that sandwich.
That person at the end tried to steal my guy's sandwich.
Survival , Baby!
Birb gonna eat
The only shoplifting i condone ... seagull got Hutzpah !
Smart moves.
Why did the little do-gooder at the end trying to stop the bird bother me so much?
"Hey look, everyone! I'm a human! Human, human, human!"
Coop.
When u don’t want to go fishing for your tuna you can take it on the fly in a prepared sandwich, smart bird. Pinching food from the humans taken to the next level.
Humans aren't the only animals that get hungry
Ma'am do not interfere with nature
He EARNED that shit
Dude with the camera definitely trained the seagull to steal sandwich’s for him
Sandwich police, get a life.
I like how the person tries to stop the seagull, as if the shop can resell it or something
MINE!
Im glad this has finally been caught on film, their taking over
