I grew up on a chicken farm. Chickens with extra legs are common, about 1 out of every 100k. They get pecked to death by the other chickens within the first day or two.

Man, birds come off as docile, tame creatures but Reddit has really exposed them for the psychopaths they really are. Pecking deformed babies, stealing nests and murdering babies, stealing money in return for food…they don’t give a fuck.

How can he even breath?

The other seagull was probably like: "no, man, this feels wrong, don't do it, man"

And he was like "I'M NEVER GONNA BE HUNGRY EVER AGAIN!"

So other guy just went away, ashamed... And bunny eater kinda looked ashamed, too, afterwards...

That seagull is going to take a massive shit

Birds are pretty terrifying and brutal, not to mention they can attack from above. Thankfully they aren't big enough to eat us.

Isn't there an extinct Eagle species that was big enough to prey on humans?

u/AntiMatterAMA Jul 21 '21

there's also several ostrich-sized carnivorous birds - search up "terror bird"

btw, you're probably talking about the Haast's eagle - of which exists a mythological creature

u/joshwagstaff13 Jul 21 '21

Yep. Haast’s Eagle. Went extinct sometime around the 1400s, due to its prey (Moa) being hunted to extinction.

Vultures would like to have a word with you

It’s funny to compare the size of the seagull right before and after he downs that thing. He is almost scraping the ground afterwards lol

I wanted to see it trying to fly.

u/filthy-toast Jul 21 '21

Oh fuck. I feel both impressed and terrified

u/Sandpaper_Pants Jul 21 '21

This is horrifying. At first, I thought it was just going to pick it apart; I mean, it's like a human swallowing a German shepherd whole.
WTF?

u/fakeittilyoumakeit Jul 21 '21

I baby german Sheppard maybe. Have you never seen a German Sheppard in person? They're huge!

u/saltysamon Jul 21 '21

So can a seagull digest it all like bone and everything? Wonder if that thing can even still fly.

u/Yosonimbored Jul 21 '21

There’s also videos of them eating pigeons whole

u/timmmeeeeeeeeeehhhhh Jul 21 '21

I thought that was pelicans. All the videos I've seen of gulls preying on pigeons is the gull tearing the pigeon apart.
