As with many of these terms that appear on social media or the rest of the Internet, it's not clear who specifically originated the "seagulling" term. But it is clearer why people have been giving this dating practice the bird, so to speak. It's similar to the tendency of seagulls to grab food whether or not they are hungry simply because they don't want others to get the food.
