'Tis the Season for Feasting . . . and disgusting gluttony!

Oooh, look! A discarded salmon! My luck's in! New Year feast time!!

(juvenile Great Black-backed Gull)

Mmmm! Yummy!

Uh-oh, here comes the rest of the mob, better hurry this up a bit . . .

Mine! All mine!

Down the hatch!

< BUUURP! >

Eeeew!

Couldn't get it any further down . . . . and he's too heavy to fly now!

haha. Gulls are so funny but gross sometimes.

That's fantastic! Reminds me of someone I used to work with.

Sorry to be so late in asking this stupid question, but did the gull ever finish swallowing the fish?

I don't know, it was getting towards dusk and I had to head off home!

Guess I'll just have to think the best. Thanks.

This reminded me of rations thrown to the sled dogs in The Call of the Wild. The ex-pet Buck learns to snatch frozen salmon out of the air and swallow it whole if he wants to eat; the other dogs will tear it out of his mouth if he's too slow.
