This Couple's Cute Moment Was Photobombed By A Seagull And It Turned Into A Funny Moment Instead
Seagulls are pretty tricky animals, and this just proves it!
Some beach photos are meant to be romantic, but this one got a lot more chaotic in a split second. A couple went out for a simple golden hour moment, and a seagull decided the scene needed a little extra attention.
What started as a cute video on the beach quickly turned into a funny reminder that wildlife does not care about your plans. The couple, including Spicer and his girlfriend, were just trying to enjoy the water and capture the moment, but the seagull had other ideas.
By the end, the photobomb made the whole thing even better, and the timing could not have been more perfect. Read on.
Australia is famed for being home to many creatures: some cute, like kangaroos and koalas, and others less so, like the abundance of snakes and spiders. But some, while perhaps less dangerous, are definitely more prominent, like seagulls.
Jace Spicer was at Dampier Beach in Western Australia, having a romantic evening with his girlfriend. They were enjoying a stunning sunset beach walk and decided to capture an Instagram-worthy moment.
Spicer set up his phone in the sand, pointed it toward the sea, and they went down to the water's edge to be cute in the golden hour. Rather than the adorable photos they expected, they had some surprise visitors that joined the shot.

The seagulls wandered around in front of the camera, making sure their good sides were in the frame. They also did the classic seagull thing: constantly and consistently squawking!
They didn't check the video until the next day when it was way too late to re-film the moment. Luckily, the couple has a good sense of humor!
Spicer told The Dodo:
There are moments when it definitely looks like the seagulls are about to eat the adorable couple.

There are some moments when it is abundantly clear that this is Mother Nature's world, and we are all just living in it. Spicer and his girlfriend were hoping for a cute video of themselves, but it didn’t take long for them to realize that this video was way better.
They also couldn't help but be grateful that the seagull wasn't interrupting a more personal and private moment. Luckily, it was just a cute stroll on the beach and not a once-in-a-lifetime moment that you cannot re-film and definitely don’t want birds ruining!
“We definitely didn't plan for a seagull to photobomb us. I turned to my girlfriend and said, ‘Imagine if I were trying to propose?’”Walking around looking for some romantic photos and videos to ruin!
This is similar to the roommate who brought a noisy parrot home, sparking a boundary fight.
Seagulls have adapted to live with humans and really know how to make the most of it!
Of all the Australian animals, the seagull is not the cutest and not the most deadly, but it is definitely the one that is most likely to steal your chips. The seagull is also a prolific photobomber, which is exactly what this couple learned the hard way.
Luckily, they were able to maintain a good sense of humor about it, and even more importantly, the seagulls didn’t ruin the most important moment of their lives. Seagulls are not known for their manners, but that doesn’t mean they should be so behind on the trends that they think it’s still funny to photobomb.
Fortunately, it is still amusing for animals to photobomb, but not for people. Do you have a funny story of an animal photobombing you? Share it in the comments below!
That seagull knew exactly what it was doing.
