Seagulls and Bagels Provide Surprising Entertainment

Not so long ago, I happened to look out my window and see a flock of seagulls circling around the rooftop of an adjacent building. Closer inspection revealed that someone had placed a few bagels out for the birds, thus causing a white-feathered frenzy amongst the gathered avian creatures. I, of course, was amused because there truly is nothing odder than seeing a seagull hoisting a full bagel in its mouth. It’s one thing to see a bird with a crust or a crumb or an errant piece of trash, but bagels — I don’t know. It’s just a strange combination.
Anyway, in my apparent boredom, I actually posted a Facebook status update about this bagel-seagull activity, thus prompting an urgent and excited message from IndianJones who simply wrote “PICTURE.” Well, who was I to deny the masses? I pulled out my camera and caught some very, very intense bird-on-bagel moments. Planet Earth should watch out…

As you can see, there was plenty of excitement on the rooftop.

A white gull swoops in to steal the gray bird’s bounty.

Meanwhile, two other birds tussle over the other half of the bagel.

Bedlam.

A heated argument ensues.

Meanwhile, Joyce sits pretty with her bagel half.

Things seem relatively calm for the moment.

Joyce takes her bagel for a walk.

Uh oh. More fighting!

Some douche steals Joyce’s bagel!

Gabe’s not fazed. He’s seen it all before.

The aftermath.

Sorry, Joyce. No bagel for you today.

Meanwhile, there’s Pamela flaunting her sizable bagel chunk.

A latecomer. Way to MISS IT, jerk.

Gabe’s too old for this shit.

And as the douche gull flies off with Joyce’s bagel, this momentous battle draws to an end.
