The sound comes from Pixar's Finding Nemo, released in 2003, where a flock of seagulls perched near Sydney Harbour repeatedly shouts mine as they compete for food. The scene became one of the film's most quoted moments and was quickly clipped, remixed, and reused across YouTube, TikTok, and meme edits as shorthand for greed and group chaos. Its simple, instantly recognisable chant works without any context, which is why creators still reach for it two decades later whenever a crowd turns selfish.
About this sound
The seagulls from Finding Nemo chanting 'mine' in a frantic chorus, perfect for videos about greedy friends, food stealing, or chaotic group moments.
This short clip captures the flock of seagulls from Finding Nemo squawking over each other in their famous mine chant, each voice overlapping the next in a loud, high-pitched, slightly deranged chorus. The sound is frantic and repetitive, building quickly from a single call into a noisy scramble as if every bird is demanding the same thing at once. It instantly reads as greedy, selfish, and comically desperate, which is why it lands so well as a punchline. Played over a clip of people crowding around food, a pet, or a phone, it turns an ordinary scramble into a cartoonish free-for-all.
