Why don't bears attack seagulls?
They probably do - once.
Seagulls are big birds with sharp beaks which exhibit mobbing behaviour when one of their number is attacked. Although bears are carnivorous as part of their diet, they won't get into a fight and risk damage for fun, that's a human idiosyncracy.
There is also the possibility that seagulls taste horrtible which seems likely given their diet and, (potentially lethal to an unadapted predator), heavy concentrations of vitamin A in their livers (from eating lots of fish).
In nature something tasting bad is a warning of an unsuitable food item.
You don't need telepathy for any of that.
