For a 10-year-old British boy, imitating a bird is very rewarding.

Cooper, from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, squawked like a seagull so well to emerge the winner of the annual EC Gull Screeching competition held at the Belgian coastal town of De Panne on 27 April.

Judges consisting of gull experts and marine biologists gave Cooper a score of 92 points out of a possible 100 in screeching, the highest in the contest, to win the juvenile category for the second straight year, BBC reports.

He scored 87 overall — including for costume, behavior and mimicking the call of a seagull — to beat 23 young contestants, including his seven-year-old sister, Shelby.

The contest also had adult and colony or group categories. Aside from his second first-place medal, Cooper took home a hamperful of crisps, chocolates and fizzy drinks, according to BBC.

Meanwhile, TikToker Jolene Dawson from Gold Coast, Australia wanted to imitate another animal with disastrous consequences.

The 29-year-old went to the extent of undergoing plastic surgery costing $8,000 only to suffer side effects when the filler migrated to other parts of her face, New York Post (NYP) reports.

The experimental cosmetic procedure called barbed threading was painful and forced her to remove the filaments herself, leaving lesions and scars on her cheeks, according to NYP.

Dawson regretted her attempt to look like a cat for the sake of getting attention. “I’m well aware of how dumb this was. I have been in a lot of pain because of it,” Dawson told NYP.

She has since had all the fillers and any additional implants removed, NYP reports.
