Seagull swallowing starfish - a photo on Flickriver

            The gulls have strong throats, gizzards, and intestinal muscles to help push and pull the starfish down. At the same time, the muscles will squeeze the starfish into a more swallow-able shape.
It's a taxing experience and the gulls will often take their time and stay relatively still while trying to get the big meal down their throat.
