While it might not look like it, the seagulls of Ireland are the most vicious animals I have ever met, and for good reason... they're counting on humans like me for their food supply! Before you worry that I'll turn into a seagull meal, though, let's clarify that they're after what I'm eating, not me in particular, though it certainly looks like it sometimes.
Seagulls are mostly all white with pale feet and big wings that they usually keep close to their body when they are on the ground. They are not big animals, but they are not small, either. They are in between the sizes of small and medium, I would say.
When I first ran into a seagull, I thought they were harmless, but I would soon learn otherwise. I was walking through one of the beautiful parks in Dublin, St. Stephens Green, with a pretzel in my hand. I soon began to notice that a group of seagulls began following me and hovering above me. Before I knew it, one of them swooped down and snatched my pretzel. This happens to a lot of people in the park, unfortunately. Needless to say, I was very upset and surprised about what happened. In this case, the seagull competed with me for my food and won.
