Weird but true

When a bird went after a British man’s fast-food meal, he bit back.

Police in Plymouth, England, recently saw a man biting a seagull, so they detained him, suspecting he might be on drugs.

He was taken into custody because seagulls are a protected species. The bird flew off before officials could check on it.
