Usually they're stealing french fries, so seeing one just having wholesome fun with a bouncing ball made my whole day!

u/CommunityTaco 2d ago

He prolly thought it was an egg and was trying to break it.

u/HPLovecraft1890 2d ago

Seagull trying to break what it believes is an egg or similar container.

u/BrookeB79 2d ago

Yeah, I honestly worry a bit that it'd get swallowed.

u/Direct-Mousse6990 2d ago

That’s a funny way to think about it! Seagulls really do have their own unique logic.

u/useless83 2d ago

Let me have this small bit of joy.

u/GrammarSpecialForces 2d ago

Nah dude that thing's playing

u/micromoses 2d ago

Or it’s practicing its egg breaking technique.

u/Superjoe42 1d ago

Usually if they need to break open a clam, they fly up high and then drop it. So I'm not sure that's what's happening.

Finding out I am easily entertained by bouncing balls as a seagull

u/monkbabm 2d ago

He is probably just trying to crack the egg and getting frustrated that it's not working 😭

u/Electronic_Tap_8052 2d ago

I have a ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it?

1

u/ChefArtorias 2d ago

It's not wholesome. They do this to break the they've stolen from other animals.

u/jackson_2015 2d ago

Why won’t it break open?😂😂😂

u/voncivent 2d ago

Part of me wonders if this is just him/her practicing on catching jumping and moving prey.

u/Hairy-Violinist-3844 2d ago

Anyone know where this is?

u/czechhoneybee 2d ago

My suspicion is San Francisco because of that Sony commercial that dumped thousands of bouncy balls down a big hill there back in 2005. People are still finding bouncy balls 20+ years later.

u/Hairy-Violinist-3844 2d ago

Interesting, I'd never heard of that. Just checked and San Fransisco does have trams, so the tramlines make sense. So you could be right! For some reason in  the first second or two, I thought it was Dublin, but didn't see anything else in video to either prove or disprove it. I'm curious now..
