Scottish Championship league club Hibernian faced Scottish League One club Dunfermline Athletic in a friendly this past Tuesday, but we probably wouldn’t be talking about that here unless something relatively bizarre happened.

That moment in question occurred when Hibernian defender Callum Booth cleared a ball that inadvertently struck a seagull in mid-flight. The seagull kinda flew right into it. Things looked bleak for the bird for a second there, before it recovered from its swoop, ascended, and carried on with its life as though nothing had happened.
