Belgian town organizes seagull imitation championship

The Belgian coastal town of De Panne organized on Sunday the third European seagull screeching championship, where a jury crowned the best imitation of the bird’s distinctive shriek.

Around 50 participants took part in the contest including first-timers and returning participants. Each was judged by a professional jury which awarded 15 points for how well they imitated the seagull’s sound and five points for their behavior.

Participating for the first time, Yarmo, a 21-year old architecture student from Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, won the crown for the best seagull sound. Seagulls are often despised by the public because of their intrusive behavior and the contest also aims at changing their image.

Security Units at GITMO can add this selection to Disciplinary Therapy for prisoners who toss their poo at the guards. This will be played on rotation after
The Baby Shark Song.

I have a PhD biologist friend who screeches at me (ala the gulls) when I use the term “seagull”.

Apparently they are gulls (of one variety or another) but there is no such thing as a seagull.

Gulls are among the top most intelligent birds.
