This Smart Seagull Snags Free Food From Not So Bright Man By Beating The Shell Game

One not-so-bright man thought he would be able to trick a seagull into playing the shell game, but it didn't turn out as he planned.

The man in the video hid a piece of food under one of three cups, and then attempted to fool the bird as to what cup contained the food. He rotated the three cups in a figure 8 type pattern as the bird sat watching. The seagull appears to be playing along at first, but little does the man know that it is only pretending to be somewhat amused.

Immediately after the man takes his hands off of the cups, the bird head-butts the correct cup as if it were no challenge at all. The seagull then snatches up the food and patiently waits to see if the man is stupid enough to pull this stunt again. Lo and behlod, he was. Once again the man tries to fool the seagull with the same trick ending in the exact same result.

Not taking away any credit from the seagull, but come on, the cups were obviously see-through. This prank clearly could've used a little more thorough planning.

Our advice to this prankster is to try this trick again with solid cups, and then we might be a little more impressed with the seagull. For now, we are just curious as to how much food this guy gave the seagull before he realized a bird was smarter than he was?

Check out the hilarious video above.
