they're brutal. I was watching this tiny little gosling walk around with it's parents. There were lots of adult geese, but this was the only gosling left. tiny little grey ball of fluff.
Then out of nowhere a seagull swooped down, grabbed the gosling and flew off. The parents were running around panicked. It took me a few minutes to find out where the seagull went. It was a bit further away, eating the newly deceased little baby gosling.
This happened in front of two little kids too, who were just as enamored by the little gosling as I was.
