Swooping seagulls steal drugs, get stoned: ‘Turns them into psycho gulls’

Seagulls in England are allegedly getting ahold of a drug called "spice," according to a new report. ZUMAPRESS.com

These birds are flying high — and apparently getting high — as a kite.

Seagulls that reside in some seaside towns in the United Kingdom are allegedly feeling the effects of a drug called “spice” after swooping in and stealing it from people, according to the Daily Star.

“Gulls will go for anything,” a former spice user, Kevin Robertson, 45, from Hastings, told the publication. “They used to come up behind us and grab whatever we had.

“If we were stoned and completely out of it, the gulls could just take the joint we were smoking and fly off.”

Spice, also known as “K2,” is a kind of synthetic marijuana that is meant to mimic THC, which is one of the main psychoactive ingredients in marijuana, according to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.

The dive-bombing gull allegations have been made from resorts in Hastings, East Sussex, Margate, Kent and Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, according to the Daily Star, and even in cities including London, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool.

The drugs are reportedly making the seagulls go “psycho,” as one person alleged that the birds have stolen the joints right out of their hands — apparently adding a little “spice” to their lives, quite literally.

Seagulls are so aggressive to begin with. I’d hate to see them on this stuff.

‘Turns them into psycho gulls’

They are already seagulls.

How can you tell if they are more psycho?
