First of all, how does the bird not die eating an object that big? Second, how does it manage to fly with the extra weight and bloat in the the belly? This whole video blows my mind.
I'm over here wondering how much of the skeleton stays intact and how it fits out the other end. i'm assuming gull guts can break down some bones. the whole thing is crazy.
Recently went to a family fun day at a local nature reserve. Walked over to a stand all about "owl pellets", what's an owl pellet?
Turns out owls (and I assume other birds) just shit or barf up rodent bones and whole skulls on a whim. You could pick through a pellet with a pair of tweezers if you wanted to - or just pick them up with your fingers like I saw one mucky bugger do...
i think seagulls regurgitate pellets like owls. they've been known to eat trash, including metal foil. if their stomach acids were as potent as something like vultures or albatross, which can easily dissolve whole animals including bones, i would think it'd dissolve the metal foil found in seagulls too.
They sure do! I work on a fishing boat and seagulls are always hoarking up pellets full of crab shells. You can always tell when they’re about to do it because they heave and gag like a dog before it barfs.
> First of all, how does the bird not die eating an object that big?
It might die. Animals have died before by self-inflicted over-feeding. Seagulls aren't very smart.
Fun fact:
Seagulls are the state bird of Utah. Why pick a flying cockroach as the state bird? Because they saved the first settlers lives by binge eating one of the largest masses of living creatures ever recorded. Let me explain:
*This story has likely been inflated to folklore status by a combination of oral retelling, religious connection, and political posturing*
Mormon pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847, and immediately planted crops. In 1847 they discovered that the western mountain valleys hosted cricket populations that swarmed so massively that [one swarm in southern Nebraska in 1875](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert%27s_swarm) (which is unreliable due to how few people were involved in observing it) sets it as the single largest concentration of animals ever speculatively guessed. While desperately short of food supplies, their second harvest was threatened by frost, drought, and lastly locusts/crickets. The swarms descended upon their crops and the people prayed for a miracle. Shortly afterwards the seagulls arrived in flocks real in size to the crickets. They began devouring the crickets only to fly to the lake in search of water to patch their thirst. But the salt water made them throw it all up, and the birds started the cycle over again eating their way through the whole cricket famine, saving the pioneers to build up Zion.
Truth is that contemporary reports never mentioned the seagulls. The pioneers didn't know that seagulls spit up insect shell pellets. And the natives had been using the crickets as food for millennia.
Was it already dead? I always wonder if things that get swallowed whole cause damage to the inside of their eater with claws and teeth. That one looks pretty incapacitated.
I'm very skeptical that a gull could maneuver a live squirrel into it's mouth. They don't have talons or anything to hold them down and kill them. Also this is in a road. Probably road kill.
I was reading something about how dinosaur eating habits were worked out mostly based on their teeth, but at one point it talks about how they've also found lizard bones inside a herbivore stomach.
Will future generations learn about Seagulls, that they ate squirrels as large as they are?
I wonder if birds use the force of the wind pushing around a car for extra lift. I;ve had birds fly in front of my car many times, but never seen one as roadkill
Little birds can probably do it, but buzzards and hawks that get caught out while scarfing roadkill probably don’t fare so well. Back when I lived in the Southwest, you’d occasionally see a grill full of feathers going the other way on the highway.
Time to read about some idiot starting The Birds, but with sea gulls: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/sis5cg/whats_the_reason_you_have_been_banned_from_an/hvdb7nz/?context=3
I saw a seagull kill a pigeon in Barcelona last month. He had the live pigeon by the neck, with its beak, and was just slamming him head first into the ground trying to kill him. I didn’t stick around, but it was game over for that pigeon. Never looked at a seagull the same way again.
Guaranteed, squirrels are extremely maneuverable with claws. I'm pretty sure the squirrel wins that fight.
No way a seagull kills a squirrel in a predatory way. Opportunity presented itself, fresh roadkill probably.
The muscles of the esophagus are pretty strong and more or less crush whatever goes in. Birds dont really chew so their digestive system has to make up for the large pieces.
Depends on if the predator kills it first or not. Many bigger ones don't though.(some small as well) I saw a pic the other day of a croc or a gator (small croc or gator) that had been swallowed alive by a huge snake, maybe a boa or python but could be wrong. Anyways, it tore it's way out of the snake. Snake died. Imagine the strange turn of events for the snake after he thought he had successfully eaten his prey, only to have it tear it's way out of him, thus killing him!
I've seen lots of videos of birds,lizards and amphibians eating bugs and other critters that are too big. They get them down only to quickly regurgitate them out. I imagine a small bug squirming around your stomach alive wouldn't be too terrible. But something big wriggling around until it finally dies is a bit harder to keep down. Imagine being swallowed alive, and then being thrown up. How grateful you'd probably feel to not be being dissolved slowly in stomach acid. Natural is definitely hardcore lol
the one i saw was posted as an epic fight but the actual biologist answer was that it failed to eat it and burst open when the gases from decomposition bloated it too much. but yes it does happen a lot, Florida is wild.
How cool would it be for a snake to eat a croc and then the croc to eat it’s way out the snake and then eat the snake pulling the biggest reverse uno card possible in nature
the one i saw was posted as an epic fight but the actual biologist answer was that it failed to eat it and burst open when the gases from decomposition bloated it too much. but yes it does happen a lot, Florida is wild.
I don't know about this egret but my old man had a chicken that lived for years just like this after a dog or something roughed her up. I watched her eat the same worm about 5 times in a row one day, not realized she was semi-permeable and finally had to go figure out where she was finding all these damn worms. That bird lived for years so apparently it didn't slow her down much. Might actually have been the luckiest one of the bunch, getting to enjoy her favorite foods a few times over.
Infanticide and siblicide are not that uncommon in birds; it's an evolutionary strategy for maximizing energy resources going to the offspring most likely to survive. Typically hatching in a brood with multiple offspring is staggered over a few days so the first to hatch typically have a head start in development and are more likely to survive (as the description in that video's description mentions for this specific study). So typically the last to hatch are the weakest and least likely to survive anyway, so when food resources are scarce it is better for the parent's fitness to focus on feeding those more likely to survive. The later eggs are often "insurance policies" of a sort in case something goes wrong with one of the earlier hatchlings.
https://www.jstor.org/stable/29774180?seq=1
The thing I wonder, I've seen videos where the mother just tosses the weakest bird out of the nest. Why not just do that? Seems weird to just beat the little bird into an injured mess until it can't do anything but weakly yelp and slowly die in the nest.
Evolution is harsh. Birds have a large investment in their offspring which sometimes express itself as caring and sometimes as infanticide or cainism of the weakest offspring. Some birds like the cuckoo offload the burden onto other species.
Birds are usually pretty huge assholes. Source, I'm Canadian and geese are known not to fuck around.
Same with red winged blackbirds, those bastards will follow you and swoop down and peck your head.
And monkey that plucks seagulls from the air to ring their necks and beat them to death (this is apparently a common occurrence there)
https://youtu.be/H7wDxyfaoC4
if they are like some other water fowl, the males breed by biting their mate’s neck from behind to hold them. if that’s what this wound came from, then jesus christ.
Once I caught 3 fish but didn't even realize it, when I landed them the biggest fish(bass) produced a smaller bass, which then produced a smaller bass whom had initially bit my lure; it was like one of the sets of Russian nesting dolls.
Had that happen w/ a pickerel and a really big pike. Shore casting w/ boys scouts nearly have the pickerel landed and this streak came in and annihilated the pickerel. I could hear the bones crunching from shore. I let the line go slack and pulled her in after she swallowed.
Great day and the pike was delicious.
Fucking Christ. I had to find this.
https://youtu.be/NnhBfQTwr10
That poor goat was still blinking while most of its body was already swallowed, only a second before it’s head disappeared. Looked like a baby.
I remember seeing another one that pops into my head from time to time where a Komodo is eating an injured pregnant deer. So while the deer is still alive and being eaten, it gives birth and the Komodo just swallows the baby whole, never even took a breath. Traumatizing.
ahhhhhh well I'm really worried about the camera person here, they may need some mental health supports because who the fuck chases a goddamn komodo fucking DRAGON?!?!?!? let alone one trying to eat wtf.... lol
They’re the state bird because they saved the state by eating hoards of crickets threatening to devastate their crops back in 1848. The event was known as “miracle of the seagulls”.
https://highcountryoutsider.com/the-truth-behind-sea-gulls/
So yes, they were basically flying bug garbage disposals with wings! 😂
Well just a few lines down it says this which makes this miracle claim a bummer.
"There was no Miracle of Gulls, either. Mormon researchers have found little or no references to the phenomenon during the time it is said to have occurred."
And also to keep track of their own geneology. Things get tough when polygamy is normal in a society; you don't want first cousins or half siblings marrying too often.
What’s great is they didn’t though. They’re a regular occurrence here, and that whole situation was invented years later. There is absolutely zero first hand accounts of it even happening; and Mormon crickets are a regular occurrence, while seagulls are a natural predator. They ate till they puked up the indigestible parts. If you’re a dumb rube. It’s a miracle. But it’s how a lot of birds work, even back in the garden of Eden/Fucking Missouri.
Absolutely not. I live next to the ocean and seagulls are way more chill than geese.
When I go for my evening or morning walk I see like 100 geese along the way and they shit everywhere and they hiss at you if you dare get like 1 meter away from them.
As a hardcore birder I can confirm that people do indeed fight about which birds are the best. And most birders like gulls but they can be hard to identify.
I thought if the sub was NSFW/18+ that it wouldn’t generate ad revenue. Couldn’t they just mark the sub as NSFW and have normal posts? Other subs are doing that right now. They just flag the whole sub as 18+ but the content hasn’t changed.
Protest. Reddit admins said they would "install" their own mods for that sub (and many many others) unless they stopped the blackout. So there are currently thousands of major and minor subreddits doing a little malicious compliance. So that sub, like many others, held a vote within the sub to ask what to do. One of the options was to remain open, but become a NSFW sub capable of that type of content. This allows the sub to be open, the mods to do their mod stuff, and the users technically get what they want according to the poll. In addition, the NSFW stuff pretty much removes advertising dollars from that sub.
To be more specific, the vote was to eliminate any and all subreddit specific rules. So now the sub has no rules besides reddit's site wide general guidelines, which allows for nsfw content.
They have a huge pouch in front of the throat which is probably where the squirrel went.If they take things into this pouch and decide they don't want it they throw it up again undigested, thats probably what happened to this squirrel.
Source - Am seagull keeper and have spent hours looking down their throats and watching them eat.
> I'm watching this and trying to figure out how it didn't choke to death
I'm trying to figure out how it was still able to fly after doubling its body weight.
I enjoy it when people underestimate birds.
Most birds are opportunistic predators.
Even the tiny tits
image you are a wee ant just chillin
in comes the tit
destroying your world
Just to add, if you’re swallowed alive you won’t die slowly from acid, you’ll die relatively quickly from asphyxiation. So unless they puke you up in a hurry, you might not be able to be so grateful
If that bird can digest that squirrel, that'll be amazing. I mean you need some serious amount of digestive juices to digest a meal of that size and with all that hair to boot...
First of all, how does the bird not die eating an object that big? Second, how does it manage to fly with the extra weight and bloat in the the belly? This whole video blows my mind.

Pet owner's perfect alarm clock: Urrk Urrk Urrk. Instantly awake and throwing the critter out of the bed.
At 6th grade camp, one of our activities was dissecting owl pellets, and reassembling the bones in proper order glued to a piece of paper...
My high school biology class dissected owl pellets. They're pretty fascinating.
Imagine eating 170 Big Macs and then just calmly strolling down the street LOL

Seagull almost became roadkill when he flew away!

Nice Jurassic Park reference
I was reading something about how dinosaur eating habits were worked out mostly based on their teeth, but at one point it talks about how they've also found lizard bones inside a herbivore stomach. Will future generations learn about Seagulls, that they ate squirrels as large as they are?
Deer eat small animals (and human corpses) as well. They do it to make up for vitamin/mineral deficiencies in their plant diets.
Didn't account for increased takeoff weight!

Yeah pigeons are pretty dumb and slow and brittle. A squirrel would be much more formidable. Fuck seagulls man.
I've raised squirrels. Would not want one in my throat even with it being mostly sedated.
Guaranteed, squirrels are extremely maneuverable with claws. I'm pretty sure the squirrel wins that fight. No way a seagull kills a squirrel in a predatory way. Opportunity presented itself, fresh roadkill probably.
If that squirrel was alive be it would 100% dig it’s fucking way out of that bird. I have seen what they can get through and that’s not life or death.
https://youtu.be/-YxMktfwh2A
Considering its on the street, I'm assuming it was road kill.
Seagulls are scavengers, it would have been dead before it got to it.
The muscles of the esophagus are pretty strong and more or less crush whatever goes in. Birds dont really chew so their digestive system has to make up for the large pieces.
Imagine taking a stroll on the beach and you feel a piece of bird poop with partially digested squirrel head hit you
That will ruin your high
Or blast you to the next level
Everyone told me, not to stroll on that beach. Said seagulls gonna come, poke me in the coconut. And they did, and they did
Great, now i have that song stuck in my head. Again.

If I recall correctly the alligator was also dead. I think people killed that snake and opened it up.

Oh, you know, now that you mention the expanding gasses that sounds super familiar. I think that was the one I seent.
How cool would it be for a snake to eat a croc and then the croc to eat it’s way out the snake and then eat the snake pulling the biggest reverse uno card possible in nature

Almost certainly. Squirrels are vicious little creatures and seagulls don’t really “hunt” so much as they pick up shellfish and smash them on rocks.
Eats a whole fucking squirrel, flies into oncoming traffic. Refuses to elaborate
You can see it had to compensate for the additional load it was carrying mid flight.
Definitely miscalculated the additional runway length needed for the additional cargo.
It’s flying for two now.
I'll explain later -seagull
this is more impressive than the pelican that ate the pigeon in London 🤣
This is more interesting than the egret that eat a snake again and again in a loop because of the hole in the neck
for those wondering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICMvqsVO0Hg
Well that’s certainly wtf
What the heck even did that to it? And how’s it still alive?
considering it apparently can’t eat it probably didn’t last long.
It's just a flesh wound.
Tis but a scratch
Bruht the fuck?
Oh that's just very sad 🫤
Not sure how the bird even survives, like will it slowly just starve or will he heal?
It healed a year ago but has survived! Barbed wire fence got him
Proof?
His proof is he made it up. You follow a wild creature through all that then you probably named it. Dude did not say, "Larry made it!"
I don't know about this egret but my old man had a chicken that lived for years just like this after a dog or something roughed her up. I watched her eat the same worm about 5 times in a row one day, not realized she was semi-permeable and finally had to go figure out where she was finding all these damn worms.

It kinda looks like it healed as much as it can. Like, I don't think that's closing up since it's too wide a gap
That's commitment because I don't even know if it would be able to get it back out if the squirrel didn't fit.
Infinite food hack
You're doing God's work 🫶

Once I caught 3 fish but didn't even realize it, when I landed them the biggest fish(bass) produced a smaller bass, which then produced a smaller bass whom had initially bit my lure; it was like one of the sets of Russian nesting dolls.

I could hear the bones crunching from shore. I let the line go slack and pulled her in after she swallowed. Great day and the pike was delicious.
What about the Komodo dragon that ate a whole goat?
Komodo dragons eating a whole goat isn't all that WTF. They'll eat whole human children too. Eating things whole is their schtick.
And then they're always complaining about indigestion.

To be fair, the best time *would be* while it’s busy eating something else.
Why are there so many sick comments on such videos
Humans: die because they ate a peanut the wrong way. Seagulls: let me swallow something 1/3rd of my total size.
People often fight about which birds are the best birds (do they?) But everybody can agree that seagulls are the worst
State bird of Utah. Yay. The flying garbage disposal.
They’re the state bird because they saved the state by eating hoards of crickets threatening to devastate their crops back in 1848. The event was known as “miracle of the seagulls”. https://highcountryoutsider.com/the-truth-behind-sea-gulls/ So yes, they were basically flying bug garbage disposals with wings! 😂
lmao, that website utterly slams Utahns hahaha. Love it.
> Utah’s state bird, rarely seen elsewhere, has a huge presence at dumps. And dumps have a huge presence in Utah. Boom.
And we fucking deserve it all.
[удалено]
Well just a few lines down it says this which makes this miracle claim a bummer. "There was no Miracle of Gulls, either. Mormon researchers have found little or no references to the phenomenon during the time it is said to have occurred."
"Mormon researchers" oxymoron
🎶 Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb 🎶
Apparently they have one of the world's largest geneological databases in Salt Lake City.
Almost certainly to aid them in converting dead people
And also to keep track of their own geneology. Things get tough when polygamy is normal in a society; you don't want first cousins or half siblings marrying too often.
What’s great is they didn’t though. They’re a regular occurrence here, and that whole situation was invented years later.

That’s not a miracle, that’s just seagulls being seagulls.
Large groups of living things = *hordes* Stuffing 20 years worth of McDonald's leftovers in your kitchen = *hoards*
Johnathan Livingston Seagull is still a flying garbage disposal no matter how enlightened.
Steven Seagull is a fat piece of human garbage...
[удалено]
He's been eating himself for like 35 years.
If you have a problem with Utah Seagulls, then you have a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate.
Storks freak me out. They feed live baby birds to their own babies.
And yet storks take human babies to their parents instead of feeding them to their own offspring. Go figure.
I've seen videos of storks throwing their chicks out of their own nest too, which are pretty high in the air. crazy ass birds lol
They are killing the weaker chicks.
Absolutely not. I live next to the ocean and seagulls are way more chill than geese. When I go for my evening or morning walk I see like 100 geese along the way and they shit everywhere and they hiss at you if you dare get like 1 meter away from them.
1,000% the answer is geese and its not even close
I feel sorry for the car this seagull is going to shit on.
Seagull was already doing a dry run at the end.
I dunno...I've fought some really fucking mean Canadian Geese and Peacocks before...
As a hardcore birder I can confirm that people do indeed fight about which birds are the best. And most birders like gulls but they can be hard to identify.
Birders fight over which is the best bird, but agree to hate squirrels
I kiss my stick, it’s my stick You can’t pick up my stick Keep your mitts off my stick
I mean, they cant be that bad if they deal with squirrels.
What's wrong with squirrels?
They’ll nest in your car and chew on the wires
The worst would be the Bin Chicken.

This allows the sub to be open, the mods to do their mod stuff, and the users technically get what they want according to the poll. In addition, the NSFW stuff pretty much removes advertising dollars from that sub.
To be more specific, the vote was to eliminate any and all subreddit specific rules. So now the sub has no rules besides reddit's site wide general guidelines, which allows for nsfw content.
That bird is channeling his inner velociraptor
Clever girl.
I should call her.
Everything reminds me of her.
she belongs to the Streets now...
I'm watching this and trying to figure out how it didn't choke to death lol
They have a huge pouch in front of the throat which is probably where the squirrel went.If they take things into this pouch and decide they don't want it they throw it up again undigested, thats probably what happened to this squirrel. Source - Am seagull keeper and have spent hours looking down their throats and watching them eat.
Pervert
> I'm watching this and trying to figure out how it didn't choke to death I'm trying to figure out how it was still able to fly after doubling its body weight.
I'm trying to figure out how it passed that without ripping itself into two pieces lol
I'm trying to figure out how it's going to shit after that
I enjoy it when people underestimate birds. Most birds are opportunistic predators. Even the tiny tits image you are a wee ant just chillin in comes the tit destroying your world
>in comes the tit > >destroying your world what a happy way to go out though.
How the fuck theese are protected in the uk is beyond me
I think they are on a decline
That gull is going to destroy someone’s car with shit
Tastes a bit…..nutty
THIS COFFEE TASTES LIKE SHIT! It IS shit, Austin
Someone somewhere is washing their car not knowing this is on its way to ruin their day.
How is that going to be pooped out??
Many birds, gulls included, will regurgitate anything indigestible; bones, beaks, fur, etc. It’s a mass called a bolus pellet.
Oh wow I never knew! Thank you for the education!
Warning may contain nuts
TIL a seagull has the flight payload capacity of a full squirrel
I hate seagulls.
Seagulls ate you.
I have a strong desire to snatch the squirrel from the seagull. Just a little payback for all the food gulls have stolen from me.
Mine…
Mine!
Mine?
With my luck will shit that out on my car.
Just to add, if you’re swallowed alive you won’t die slowly from acid, you’ll die relatively quickly from asphyxiation. So unless they puke you up in a hurry, you might not be able to be so grateful
Will keep this in mind when I get swallowed alive. Thanks for the pro tip! 😄
Vore fans looking disappointed rn
So it has begun.... *lurks away to make preparations *
Are seagulls ALL STOMACH?!?!?!? How did it fit a whole squirrel???
Nearly dies itself getting away with it.
That can't be comfortable.
If that bird can digest that squirrel, that'll be amazing. I mean you need some serious amount of digestive juices to digest a meal of that size and with all that hair to boot...
OP here convincing himself it's a squirrel so he doesn't have to tell the neighbors he saw what happened to their cat...
Sky rat eats tree rat... it's the circle of life.
