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!
Does anyone else remember that trend from way back in 2012 when it was super cool to photobomb other people’s pictures? There were so many different ways you could do it: from standing in a big group of people hoping they wouldn’t notice you, to blocking the object they were trying to photograph, or, the most annoying, when someone handed you their phone asking you to take a picture of them, and you ended up taking an ugly selfie of yourself.
While, retrospectively, this sounds like a really lame thing to do, you have to remember it was a different time back then. Some people, and animals, are still stuck in the past and still enjoy a good photobomb, ten years after it was cool!
By now, we’re all familiar with the idea of golden hour (if you aren’t, it is that beautiful time of day in the evening when the sun is setting and the lighting is gorgeous). Golden hour is a great time for a romantic beachside walk, and you can take stunning pictures of the sunset and each other.
That is what this couple did, and they were left with a reminder that this is Mother Nature’s world, and we are just living in it!
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!
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!
