Last time I was on a beach, I dropped a fry and a seagull grabbed it.
Obviously, I didn’t want a fry covered with sand, so I didn’t mind. However, I discovered that the seagull who got the first fry would chase off any other seagulls that came to bother me. Each time I saw him doing that, I’d “drop” another fry.
I hired a seagull body guard with French fries.
That bird was absolutely on top of that situation. After a little while, the other seagulls all gave up and left me alone, so he didn’t even have to do any more work for the fries, just stand watch.
Edit: Of course, this was on the US East Coast, and seagull relations are a little different on this side of the pond. I understand there might still be some sore feelings over there after the seagull wars. Some wounds take longer to heal.

Teach me your ways master, I tried this at a beach in Germany, but the local birds wouldn’t befriend me :/
I think American seagulls are just more capitalistic and willing to turn on their brothers for a buck…or a fry. Less fraternal unity.
In Europe the seagulls probably understand the necessity of cooperation within their own species.
In fact nearly all european seagulls are unionized and yearn for the moment they will be able to size the means of production
