Gulls are resourceful, inquisitive and highly intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure; for example, many gull colonies display mobbing behavior, attacking and harassing predators, and some show tool use behavior.
Gulls have been observed preying on live whales, landing on the whale as it surfaces to peck meat, and attempting to make away with domestic pets, such as cats.
I believe they tap their feet to either distract earth worms and insects while they feed, or they are practicing their world domination victory party.
Either way, I believe I fear the gull.

I follow you on twitter and just LOVE this post and video. It is fascinating, delightful, funny, bizarre and made me laugh out loud. It it just wonderful! I RT-ed it and noticed several of my followers were RT-ing it again and loved it. It is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you!
