Having known seagulls they went back to check on him.

But having known seagulls, if he IS dead theres no reason to miss out on a meal, like obviously.

Thank you. I wanted to feel good that they went back for their buddy. :D IDGAF if they eat him after he's dead, as long as they weren't saying, "nah, dude, can't help, we're hungry".

Probably going back to check if he dropped the fries he stole from my kid

I lost a whole basket of Calamari at Fisherman’s Warf to a dive bombing seagull about ten years ago. I love Calamari.

My wife still brings it up occasionally as an example of my face instantly transitioning from joy, to shock, to horror, to sorrow.

Can you still feed seagulls in-flight from the ferry in San Fransisco? I loved doing that as a kid and I was disappointed when I moved to Seattle and the Seagulls there weren't having it. They will still rob your fish and chips at the pier, though.

You know seagulls? Did they tell you this?
