This is an excellent documentary, showing and telling things as they are without taking sides or humanizing the animals. And no clickbait. That's rare and I really appreciate it and the dedication in following the fascinating behaviour of this gull. These birds are so clever in the ways they adapt to different methods in obtaining their food. I admire both gulls and pigeons for that reason
@toddbennett7157
@toddbennett7157 2 года назад
I absolutely agree with all you've said. Fascinating! People who have no understanding of biosystems or ecology will insist FERVENTLY that predators have some personal vendetta against their prey (whatever species that might be), and will even clamor for human intervention, especially if the targeted individual is young, beguiling, and "innocent". Seemingly there is simply no comprehension in their minds of opportunism as a survival tactic.

@InqvisitorMagnvs 29 дней назад
Gulls are omnivores with a wide range of typical food options, none of which are doves/pigeons-hence this video. There would be nothing unusual worth making a video over if the gull was eating insects or crustaceans. This gull is either too lazy to fish or forage for normal gull diet and/or it's a sadistic killer choosing to instead attack pigeons, ducks, geese. Gulls can be nasty animals that if emboldened will even attack human children; heck, gulls will swoop in and steal food from the hands of grown adult men. Conversely, pigeons are a peaceful animal-doves domesticated by humans, like dogs or cats. Unlike the gull who entered human settlement out of opportunism, the pigeons actually do have to live among humans for survival. (Gulls are also even more prolific poopers than pigeons-the only real objection to the latter). The gull is using its advantages to prey on smaller animals like the pigeons, ducklings, goslings: what goes around comes around, if humans decided to put a stop to the gull's ugly activities in Kensington Gardens. It's a logical decision, not an animalistic "emotion/urge" out of control like this nasty gull.
@caesargold3695
@caesargold3695 10 дней назад
@InqvisitorMagnvs You're assigning human malice onto an animal and that's moronic, it clearly eats its prey and shares it with its mate, this is a predator surviving. You expecting human morality from a creature incapable of comprehending it is irrational. Pigeons are also fairly invasive, with immense population numbers, the Gull is doing the ecology a service by keeping their numbers in check. And predators are a benefit to prey animals like pigeons because they ensure only the fittest and healthiest of the population survive. Overall the Gull's learned behaviors are beneficial to this "ecosystem" To lash out at that over some arbitrary sentimentality you have towards human reliant pigeons is not logical, it's emotional -- they aren't even anyones pets, they are no more domesticated or trained than the Gull. It also clearly targets Pigeons instead of stealing food from humans or attacking children so you're inventing madeup scenarios to justify your own neuroticism. Finally, you are a hypocrite for making such a fuss over it killing pigeons while saying it's fine for Gulls to kill other animals instead. An animal that wants to live dies irregardless, there's no difference.

There was a little plaza parking lot across from my apartment building where I use to watch gangs of seagulls and gangs of pigeons fight over the territory from my balcony. They'd have a big confrontation every once in a while. Then for a week or two, you'd only see either seagulls or pigeons in that parking lot, not both. Then another confrontation would occur and it might switch around for another week or two.

I've seen parents still feeding adolescent gulls. Years ago, herrings learned from laughing gulls how to seduce humans into feeding them. The parents taught the kids how to fleece the human marks. I was feeding a mottled bird out on the Rockaways. The parent spread her wings to menace other gulls from coming close -- apparently, I was allowed to feed her kid only. I've seen a parent regurgitate food for a mottled kid out of the nest. Also, when fleecing humans, the mottled gulls opened their mouths. At first I thought their throats were parched. Then I realized they were nostalgiacally replicating their old nest feeding behavior, as if I were their mother.

I really had no idea Gulls did this. Your video is really informative. So I’ve now watched several other videos with the same topic and there’s one in particular that shows Sea Gulls eating a variety of prey whole. I was wondering if the gulls in your video are eating by picking because their process has evolved to this from swallowing whole or is this a regional thing with a different species of gull? Either way it’s all very fascinating. Great movie. Thx.

There is no other, and nothing can be explained by the human mind. It s impossible.

This is the most underrated science thing i have seen on the internet. And its very well narrated, with a tinge of hitchcockian horror. The narrator answers all the questions i would ask. But the conclusion is indefinite: is one outllier or will all Gulls go from Scavenger to Predator when conditions dictate (huge flock of unwary pigeons unnaturally congregating within easy reach)? And the biggest question, how did this particular gull conceptualize the concept of hunting to kill? Pointy beak aside a seagull is just not evolved for hunting. No talons, slow flyers No camoflaged feathers to conceal its presence. Its a big clumsy waddler that just eats anything. But seeing one stalk its prey is nothing short of amazing. Its like watching evolution right in front of us This video needs an award.
@RalphHancock
@RalphHancock Год назад
Thank you. The conclusion is still indefinite in 2023. Several other gulls, all Lesser Black-Backs apart from one Herring Gull, have tried to copy the pigeon killer but have never managed more than the occasional kill. There are also reports in the comments of gulls elsewhere killing pigeons, mostly Yellow-Legged and California Gulls, but I have no idea of their success rate. Meanwhile our pigeon killer, skilled by more than a decade of experience, is getting at least one victim a day and, since this is the breeding season, has been sharing it with his mate: see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cbMl5LI6vd4.html As for how the gull found this slightly unusual, but by no means unique, way of life, he may have been learning from the larger Great Black-Backed Gulls, which have long been full-blown predators and will kill and eat anything smaller, including other gulls.
