Viscious food snatching seagulls

[Deleted member 1258]

The Birds. Quite disturbing IIRC.

There's a large flock of birds, probably starlings, that roost somewhere near us and gather on the rooftops in our street before flying off to forage, some mornings when we go out every rooftop and aerial in the street is crammed with birds, spectacular and slightly sinister.

It must be. I like birds but this would freak me out.

St. Ives seagulls are famous (or is that infamous) for stealing food from people and any type of food. Chips are always a favourite, but I've seen them take anything and everything. My mum lost the top of her ice cream to a swooping gull and she should have know better as that's home'ish for her. Course the locals know better and eat their food in a sort of protective huddle, whereas the emmit's like to throw the food up in air to have the birds fight over it.

It's people doing things like that which makes them the way they are. Would you put food out for rats?

Are you sure that wasn't a pelican?

A wonderful bird is the pelican
Its beak can hold hold more than its belly can.

Remind me, what do you teach?

What would you like me to teach?

I was mugged for my fish'n'chips in Whitby this year, the gull just swooped down and knocked them out of my hands.

Your wish is my wossname. Toast by Redfalo, seagull "Jonathon" from Just Seagulls agency. Table model's own.

Wasn't that on one of the Newhaven/Dieppe rides?

IIRC, @topcat1 donated his helmet to a seagull as a stand in toilet on the Hastings overnight ride a couple of years back.

In my garden the snails eat the seagulls

Or in this case a pigeon (apols if this has been posted before)
Maybe we should train flocks of semi-domesticated pelicans to eat the seagulls in seaside towns. But when they have finished them off, what's next? Groups of pelicans loitering around bus shelters and street corners, waiting for an unsuspecting OAP or small child? Seems I haven't really though this one through
