I once saw a pigeon swallow a giant fish that was being fed to a seal, and after eating it it literally couldn't fly anymore

Elusive*, you'll probably try to correct me and say that you meant "illusive" but that's not the right use-case for it anyway.

I once watched a shag swallow a huge eel. The eel didn't want to be swallowed. It took about 15 minutes.
