Read the excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy".
Clearly, "bird brains" are more complicated than we think. And perhaps, we humans aren't so smart after all. That's something to think about next time you watch a bird. And if you see some gulls, think twice before you disturb them. They just might remember your face. And as Larry can tell you, they dive-bomb with missile-like accuracy.

A. The purpose is to entertain; the author jokes that gulls will take revenge if people bother them.
B. The purpose is to inform; it explains how people can safely interact with gulls.
C. The purpose is to persuade; the author wants readers to appreciate that gulls are more intelligent than people realize.
D. The purpose is to question; the author doubts gulls can really memorize what people look like.
