It’s a bird city
Cork City, where birds have become incredibly adept at turning human carelessness into dining opportunities.
Urban-adapted birds like the seagulls and crows photographed here have developed significantly different behaviours compared to their rural counterparts. City-dwelling seagulls often show reduced fear responses to humans and have learned to time their foraging around peak human activity periods, such as lunch hours when dropped food is most available.
Crows, meanwhile, have demonstrated remarkable problem-solving abilities in urban environments and can even learn to associate specific locations with regular food sources. Studies have shown that urban bird populations often have different dietary compositions, stress hormone levels, and even song patterns compared to rural birds, reflecting their adaptation to city life and the constant presence of human activity.

Why seagulls get ‘drunk’ on Flying Ant Day
Scientists have suggested the ants produce an acid that gets the birds “slightly” drunk
The gulls are mad for them.
This leads to gulls stealing food from people’s hands & also reports of seagulls flying into buildings or cars
RSPB gull expert says
I think they just make them happy
They are distracted, happy, focusing on eating ants rather than looking out for cars
