The sound comes from Finding Nemo, Pixar's 2003 animated film about a clownfish searching for his lost son. Near the harbour, a flock of seagulls spots the fish and begins chanting mine, mine, mine, turning a simple bird call into a running joke about possession. The gag was easy to lift out of context, so the clip spread through memes, reaction videos and short edits whenever someone wanted to mock greedy behaviour. Its brevity and instantly recognisable rhythm have kept it in circulation long after the film's release, especially in Spanish-speaking communities where it is shared as the gaviotas clip.

The Finding Nemo seagulls squawking mine in unison, from the 2003 Pixar film, used in memes and edits when someone greedily claims food or the last item.
This is the short, sharp squawk of the harbour seagulls from Finding Nemo, all of them blurting out the word mine at once in a high, guttural, almost laughing cry. It is barely a word and barely a bird call, caught somewhere between the two, which is why it lands so instantly. The sound is abrupt, greedy and a little chaotic, with several voices overlapping as if each bird is trying to shout over the others. Played on its own, it turns a simple grab for food, attention or the remote control into a small feeding frenzy, and listeners recognise the joke before the clip has even finished.
