“Sea” gull isn’t accurate, as there are many gulls, ringbilled, California, etc., and they go far inland, like the statue to the savior gulls in Salt Lake City attest.
There is a reasonable (to birds) explanation for this phenomenon. Birds like to perch on something elevated, because that gives them a better view. In an open area, the most elevated object is often a car or a statue. Once the bird has found a comfy perch with a good view, the next order of business is to relieve itself. Since birds need to shed excess weight so they stay light enough to fly, they don’t “hold it,” but just let go wherever they happen to be.

Birds trained to let go on command? Quiet sophisticated Pavlovian training.

Is it possible those bread crumbs have wheat bran mixed in?

Seagulls are nature’s garbage cans on wings. Just think of what the beach would smell like without them though.

That is why there were no other cars in that car park. This guy is new to the place

My mother keeps bread in the trunk of her car and feeds the gulls in parking lots. She has been informed to STOP! LOL!

I’d question the quality of food bought from a store in an empty parking lot.

there is nothing in the bags that are indicative of a grocery store. He could just as well been in Lowes.

We don’t have seagulls as we’re not near the sea. We do however have bay-gulls.

We have gulls here in North Idaho – 300 miles east of Seattle.

Where I work, next to the Salish Sea, the gulls sometimes pick out one car for target practice. Not a pretty sight

Definition of a seagull: A pair of wings with a raucous noise at one end, and NO respect for anyone at the other!

I suspect he being the only one parked in that parking lot, nobody makes a second visit. Fool me once….

Maybe if he’d parked closer to the supermarket??
