There are few things more frustrating than feeding a colony of pigeons or seagulls and seeing how hungry and obnoxious these birds can be. In fact, seagulls and pigeons are well-known for stealing food from visitors’ hands and spitting it out on the ground.
Video footage from the Dutch Harbor, Alaska area shows that the large birds of prey behave better than their smaller avian cousins when the fisherman coughs up shrimp and they devour them.
The bald eagle is a majestic bird of prey. ‘ This species of carnivorous scavenger, weighing in at 7 to 14 pounds, has a wingspan of 6 to 8 feet, and they are not to be trifled with.
However, as the fisherman goes onto the fishing boat’s deck with a metal dish full of shrimp, they know they’re in for a treat. At first, the observer notices a smattering of ten birds on the pier.
Even though they fight and bicker over who gets the shrimp, each eagle eventually gets its hands on one. There are several hundred more eagles perched calmly on the ship’s railing, but as soon as the camera pans to the left, the audience is startled to see even more of these majestic creatures!
No one seemed to be upset that the fisherman didn’t bring enough shrimp for everyone.
Because all the birds look to be well-fed, the fisherman’s daily haul is likely to provide them with a few morsels.
Feeding the birds in your area is an enjoyable pastime for you. No, I wouldn’t feel at ease throwing food out to hungry birds of prey like this fisherman.
