Seagulls are well known for their food-snatching abilities. Occasionally, videos are shared on social media that show a seagull using speed and technique to snatch food from humans. This video, which shows a livestreamer losing his sandwich to a seagull, adds to that list.
The video begins with a woman sitting by the water, livestreaming. She unwraps a sandwich and says, “Not bad.” At that moment, a bird flies towards her, and is soon joined by several others. Terrified, the woman screams and throws her sandwich away. The birds leave her alone to focus on the food scattered on the ground. Bystanders offer help and ask if she is OK. Near the end of the video, she laughs at her situation.
