Believe it or not, interactions between gulls and pigeons are some of the more common submissions we get over here. It makes sense, both gulls and pigeons are commonly found in urban areas, and everyone carries a camera around with them 24/7. Not all of these clips are worth posting, but there’s something about this one that compelled me to upload it. After watching it a few times, I started wondering if pigeons were a staple of the gull’s diet or something more recently added to it. It's definitely the latter, but when did they figure out that these wobbly newspaper colored birds could be taken as lunch? Then I started wondering why there’s pigeons in every city, then I took a nap, came back and found this on a forum for pigeon enthusiasts: Published: 2004-07-19 17:00 PDT “I posted a thread, quite a while ago, about how I witnessed a seagull devouring a pigeon, here, in Queens, New York. Both I and some of our friends assumed that the pigeon must have been dead before that happened, finding it hard to believe that gulls attack and kill pigeons... Well, a couple of days ago I witnessed an entire scene of an attack and killing of a pigeon by a seagull. A group of pigeons were laying in the sun on the roof of a store nearby and suddenly a seagull came down, like a hawk on top of one of them. It took him a whole minute to kill him with strokes of his powerful beak, while the poor birdie was desperately trying to save himself from the predator. It is very sad to see the gulls, these elegant and beautiful bigger birds, prey on the pigeons, whom we all love. It is very frustrating and disgusting, especially to see this happening in a neighborhood where people show more and more compassion for all birds, pigeons and gulls included.” This is the earliest mention of this bloodthirsty behavior that I could find on the internet, but gulls have been common in urban areas since the 80s so I’m gonna need some of you OGs to crack an Encyclopedia Britannica and help me out here. 📽 by @phill.stagram Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

Pidgeons are like fast food for urban hunters, I've watched videos from cats to turtles hunting and eating them 🍟
