Dream of a child about to enjoy a delicious cookie crumbled after the Seagull snatched the treat while the child’s dad took it. The video, which was made by the father of the child and which appeared on the TikTok, became viral.
In the video you can see how the little boy proudly raises a cookie in the air and smiling at the camera as instructed by his dad. However, the idyllic scene at the sea changes dramatically when the child is hungry Seagull flies over and grabs the treat from the outstretched hands of the boy.
The Seagull snatched a cookie so fast that the amazed boy turned to his father, who is clearly laughing behind the scenes. The boy, whose name was not called, of course, didn’t know that you need to look closely at the Seagull, so she won’t steal your food, according to research by 2019, published in Royal Society’s Biology Letters. «Gulls often do not mind to take food from people because it is a good idea to keep an eye on them,» said the study’s lead author, Madeleine Goumas from the University of Exeter. «Some of the gulls were able to remember a positive moment in the past received food from people – but a couple of the most daring birds can ruin the reputation of all kind».
One of the authors of the study Dr. Neeltje of Bogart warns: «Gulls learn quickly, because if they once got from the people food, they can wait».
Video with the daring theft of a cookie, the child scored more than 102 thousand hits, more than 16 thousand likes and lots of comments on TikTok. «Amazing that you caught it on video,» said someone. «God, it’s great,» added someone else.
Another commenter spoke about their experience with hungry birds: «once 2 Seagull stole my whole plate of French fries… they just picked it up and flew away».
There were those who sympathized with the child. «Well, why are you with him?» — written by someone.
