Viscious food snatching seagulls

[Fnaar]

Seagulls: yes, trip to Brighton this summer, fish and chips on the pier, one of the thieving flying thugs nicked my fish

Starlings: I'll never tire of watching 'murmurations'

How about this for a mumuration of starlings:

But if they murmur over towns or cities, this can be the result (Rome)

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

A few years ago on holidays, I was sitting on a wall along the street in Portree in the Isle of Skye when a German chap came along with a hot dog wrapped up in a napkin. He set it on the roof of his VW Golf while he got his keys out and unlocked the car door. At that precise moment, a huge gull swooped in at unbelieveable speed and swiped the sausage out of the hotdog which was still sitting on the roof of the car.

And that is how I picked up a few swear words in German...

This is a scene I am struggling with - a hot dog, on the roof of a car has his sausage taken by a sea gull .

I'm going to start nicking food off seagulls, see how they like it. Tap the red spot, get them to regurgitate it, that's the trick

Stopped in Folkestone while touring. Bastards got to my tub of cockles while I went to get a napkin.

These tales are superb.But it must come as a shock to see the birds, the things are enormous.

On Brighton pier a few years back now I was super hungry and had taken ages to choose a pancake and various toppings from one of the stalls, walked towards the edge to lean on the railings to eat it and a cheeky, fast seagull grabbed the pancake and knocked it southwards heading into the sea with a great splash. Daft thing didn't get to eat it but spoiled it for both of us instead!

Llandudno seagulls are notorious. I deliberately do not eat food when I'm out, especially in Llandudno. However a few years ago I forgot this rule. I was walking down the road, minding my own business when I got dive bombed from behind by a seagull. I managed to retain my sandwich but it didn't half smack into me. Surprised it didn't give itself concussion. Maybe I still kept my lunch as it misjusdged it's flight path and knocked itself off course with the back of my head.
