Gull power: Seagull screamer soars to victory in B.C. capital contest
About 15 competitors were judged on accuracy, volume, creativity and audience reaction in the second annual contest, organizers said.
- On Saturday, Karli Mann won the second annual Scream Like a Gull contest at Beacon Hill Park, defeating around 15 competitors in the Rocky Point Bird Observatory Society event.
- Virgin Radio host Johnny Novak, Eagle Wing Tours co-owner Brett Soberg, and Saanich Coun. Teale Phelps Bondaroff judged performances on accuracy, volume, and creativity, with Novak praising Mann's authenticity.
- Mann discovered her talent after moving from Edmonton to Victoria in 2014, saying, "I'd never tried it before, and it was just available to me in my vocal cords."
- Amid the laughter, RPBO board member Liam Ragan warned gull populations are "declining rapidly" due to marine plastic and food scarcity, urging residents to keep dogs leashed in sanctuaries.
- Organizers expect the competition to return to Beacon Hill Park in 2027, as Ragan promises the society will continue hosting events during World Migratory Bird Day.
