What happens when you mistakenly leave a suitcase full of pepperoni in a hotel room with the window open? Well, a guy by the last name of Burchill was visiting Victoria on a business trip and purchased a suitcase full of pepperoni as a gift for the crew of a Navy ship. His hotel room didn’t have a refrigerator so he left the open suitcase by his partially open window so it could keep cool and then went out several hours for a walk. Upon returning to his room Burchill found at least 40 seagulls in the room eating the pepperoni:

And, as Burchill learned, pepperoni "does NASTY things to a seagull’s digestive system."
"As you would expect, the room was covered in seagull crap," he wrote. "What I did not realize until then was that seagulls also drool. Especially when they eat pepperoni."
Stuff got worse from there. Startled by Burchill's entrance, the birds started flying everywhere and crashing into things, resulting in "a tornado of seagull excrement, feathers, pepperoni chunks and fairly large birds whipping around the room."
"The lamps were falling. The curtains were trashed. The coffee tray was just disgusting," Burchill wrote.
Burchill opened the window all the way to let them out, and "most of the gulls left immediately."
Still, a couple particularly persistent birds weren't ready to give up.
"One tried to re-enter the room to grab another piece of pepperoni and in my agitated state, I took off one of my shoes and threw it at him," Burchill wrote. "Both the gull and the shoe went out the window."
With one large seagull left in the room, Burchill said he "grabbed a bath-towel and jumped it."
"It [started] to freak-out so I wrapped it in the towel and threw it out of the window," he wrote. "I had forgotten that seagulls cannot fly when they are wrapped in a towel."
The shoe — and the towel-wrapped seagull — apparently struck a large group of tourists on the way down. The seagull was unharmed, Burchill added.
