In an unusual turn of events, a university building was temporarily closed this week after a seagull was caught repeatedly dropping rocks onto its roof, causing significant damage.

The incident occurred at Seaview University, where staff and students reported hearing loud bangs and cracks overhead. Upon inspection, maintenance crews discovered several cracked roof panels and broken skylights, the result of rocks being dropped from above.

After setting up surveillance cameras, officials confirmed that a particularly mischievous seagull had been targeting the building. Experts believe the bird may have been attempting to crack open shellfish on the hard surfaces but mistakenly used rocks instead.

University spokesperson Amanda Lewis said, “Safety is our top priority. Until the necessary repairs are completed, we have closed the affected building to protect our students and staff.”

The building, which houses several lecture halls and administrative offices, will remain closed for at least a week while repairs are underway. Classes scheduled inside have been relocated to other parts of the campus or moved online temporarily.

Wildlife experts were called in to assess the seagull’s behavior. Ornithologist Dr. Peter Graham explained, “Seagulls are intelligent birds known for innovative food-gathering techniques. However, this case of using rocks instead of shellfish is highly unusual.”

Students have responded with a mix of frustration and humor, with some jokingly calling the seagull the “campus vandal.” Social media has been flooded with memes and videos related to the bird’s antics.

The university is working with local wildlife authorities to find a humane solution to discourage further incidents, possibly by installing deterrents like bird spikes or reflective surfaces.

Despite the disruption, officials emphasized that no injuries were reported, and the situation is under control. “We’re looking at this as a learning moment about how urban environments interact with wildlife,” said Lewis.

Meanwhile, the seagull has yet to be officially identified, but it has already achieved campus fame — and infamy.
