New research found that seagulls mimic human food choices, which is why they steal your food.
Research by the University of Sussex found gulls studied human behavior and applied the knowledge.
But new research suggests that it is a sign of intelligence after scientists at a British university found that the birds mimic human food choices.
He added that "gulls may be less likely to steal our food if we focus on reducing litter.
That's because littering increases gulls' ability to learn about how our different food options and how they taste."
