We used to give malteasers to pigeons
Thay can just about pick them up but when they try to bite into them they shoot out of their beaks.

Good, but
much funnier is the result of feeding Alka-Seltzer to seagulls. I did this in Swansea and can state quite categorically that they explode as a result. If you've ever encountered a Swansea seagull, you'll understand I was provoked.

I can concur
Seagulls DO explode on contact with Alka Seltzer, and also sound very confused shortly before
