Boy holding food meets wrath of hungry seagulls on New Jersey beach

July 29: A young visitor to a New Jersey beach learned a valuable lesson about feeding seagulls when a piece of food held over his head caused the birds to descend on him.

The video, posted to Twitter by user @ohthatstricia, shows a young boy, identified by the uploader as her cousin, AJ, walking on a beach in Sea Isle City with a piece of food held over his head.

The video goes into slow-motion as food-seeking seagulls swarm around the boy, who screams and flees the birds in a style that would make Tippi Hedren proud.

The uploader said the seagull baiting video was AJ’s idea and he wasn’t harmed by the gulls. “Don’t feed seagulls, kids,” she tweeted. Upi.com
