A social media prankster has covered his face in thousands of hot chips, and turned it into a lunchtime snack for a group of seagulls.
Footage shows the man lying neck-deep in sand and smothered with hot chips at Surfers Paradise beach on Wednesday.
A frenzy among peckish seagulls and even a few Ibises flock to the scene, desperate to grab a hot chips or two.
As part of a comedy stunt, a man covered himself in hot chips to make a gag at Surfers Paradise on Gold Coast.
The bizarre sight was actually a stunt by Marty and Michael, a comedy duo who uploaded the video on their Instagram page, which they dubbed their “latest science experiment”.
Nine News reports that the pair bought more than $1,000 worth chips to see whether they could win the trust of birds.
It’s not known what the final results were.

Marty and Michael claim that they do social experiments and comedy sketches on social media.
Last year the two pranksters, whose real names are Michael Broekhuyse, 32, and Martin Sokolinski, 33, stopped play during the AFL Grand Final in a bid to gain viral fame.
They ran onto the Gabba in Brisbane and were quickly escorted off by security guards.
After being released from prison, they posted on social media that the field invasion was another stunt to promote a video.
Their antics halted game play in the first quarter between the Geelong Cats & Richmond Tigers. One of the men managed to kick a goal before being taken off the pitch.
