A PEACEFUL DAY ON THE BEACH, NOT, MORE LIKE A SCENE FROM ALFRED HITCHOCK'S MOVIE, THE BIRDS. Show Me A Photo Contest Round 40

While in Fort Meyers, Florida last year we were enjoying the gorgeous day when the ladies sitting right next to us decided to open a bag of potato chips. One of the gals decided to throw one of the chips up to a hovering seagull. Well, as we all know it's impossible to eat just one and I guess that also holds true for birds.
In a matter of seconds, mayhem ensued as the gulls started to fly in from all over the place.

The entire scene was hysterical if you were an onlooker, but the gals being bombarded didn't seem to be enjoying themselves. One of the seagulls even took off with a towel they were using to fend off the attack.

With the gals no longer occupying the beach blanket, the birds made themselves at home.

By the time it was all said and done, there was not a chip left insight.

Pure fright was written all over the unsuspecting lady's face as she tried to exit stage right.

As you can see in this picture, even passer buyers were caught up in all of the commotion as they strolled by. After vacating the area the lady who wore the face of complete and utter panic decided to take some photos of this Hitchock scene.

So the moral of this post is never leave home with one bag of potato chips if you plan to feed the seagulls.

Wonder what they'd do with wasabi peanuts... I feel an experiment coming on

Seagulls are like airborne piranhas in their attacks when it comes to food! @thebigsweed

It was a funny scene!

And she wasn't blond!

Come on now, no stereotyping, we wouldn't want to upset anyone. You know how sensitive people are these days, no one can take a joke.

Talk about jokes, You know how many -------- it takes to put in a light bulb?
Four -------, one to stand on the ladder holding the light bulb and 3 to turn the ladder.

Oh dear, I forgot that wig you had.... are you one of the four? Poor 💡 always having the mickey taken out of it!

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING

Oh my word! What a scene!
I bet these girls will never bring chips on the beach.
Seagulls can pinch any food from your hands.

As a beachgoer, we learned that lesson long ago but when an unexpecting person decides it would be a good idea to feed the seagulls, it's time for some good laughs.

LOL That must have been hilarious @thebigsweed!
Those ladies were actually teaching the seagulls a very bad habit but it must have looked like a Hitchcock movie!

Whenever we happen to kick those pictures up, we still have a good laugh, and we all know that laughter is good for the body.

what a scene. the girls will know better next time.

Some things have to be learned first hand. 😁

🤣🤣🤣 how did you stop laughing long enough to hold the camera still? This has to be youtube worthy, for those who took video!

!ALIVE !PIZZA

When I revisited these pictures from a year or so ago, I LOL again, remembering just how panicked the ladies were, especially when one of the gulls swiped the towel from the lady swiping at them in an attempt to have them fly away.
A video of the whole thing would have been priceless.

Thanks for the pizza, I hope it comes with pepperoni. 😁

It has loads of pepperoni :) You should enter the Tale Of Two Pizzas Contest :)
