Every weekday, we pick an image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It’s our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

Seagulls rank highly amongst Torontoist’s favourite kleptoparasites. They aren’t nearly as bothersome or common as their filthy cousins the pigeons, or as destructive as those meddlesome raccoons. They’re also entertaining to watch attacking leftovers from corporate picnics and pizza events. We feel that their finer, less parasitic nature was aptly captured in this photo by alad1n.
