Water music

The Miami Herald reports that a grand piano has appeared on a sand bar in Biscayne Bay, "at the highest point of the sandbar so that it's not underwater during high tide" (read it and see photos here). Officials have no plans to move the piano "unless it becomes a danger to wildlife or boaters," but how could a little water music hurt anyone? The article tells us that "seagulls can be seen landing on the instrument," but it doesn't reveal what melodies they might be tapping out on the keys. Perhaps seagulls can develop advanced musical skills if offered the opportunity. If you were a seagull, what song would you play?
