The snail has been taken over by parasitic flatworms that control it to seek out exposed spots and pulsate inside of their eye stalks to get eaten by a bird and enter the next stage of their life cycle, which they spend by living in the birds cloaca and spreading their eggs via feces.

It's a parasite that causes snails to get to higher places and get eaten by birds where it reproduces in their digestive system.

Trust me. You don't want to know. It's fucked up parasite shit. On the same level as the fungus that takes over ants.
