A Chihuahua Snack For The Seagull...!

Anyone that has spent time on or around the coast knows that seagulls will eat nearly anything, given half a chance. They will steal food from your plate, even your camper. Worse yet, they love to snatch your bait if you are fishing. This report is a bit strange though, even for a seagull.

Chihuahua Snatched By Seagull

When they aren’t scavenging food from seaside picnickers, seagulls are generally predators, dining on crabs and small fish within close proximity of their rookeries. The seemingly fearless birds have even been known to attack passing whales, diving for a bite of live whale meat.

In July 2019, a family from Devon was distraught when a swooping seagull carried off their pet. Gizmo the Chihauhua was watching his owner hang out the laundry in the backyard when a seagull suddenly descended and carried off the small dog. Despite hopes that their pet may have been dropped when the gull realized it had snatched a dog, Gizmo has not been located.

Wildlife officers confirmed that this was bizarre behavior, even for seagulls.

Yep...I reckon ol' Gizmo is gone for good. Pretty healthy snack for a seagull, don't you think?

Coffee out on the patio until the rain starts.
