So I live in a college town, and the grocery store is about 5 min away by bike. I went there, picked up groceries, and decided I wanted to stop at Office Depot to pick up some supplies. On my way, there was a flock of seagulls in an empty section of the parking lot. I was in the process of walking around them (still about 50 ft away) when they all take off and SWARM me like they would a hawk. I mean low altitude, right over my head swarming. Luckily I had my hood and jacket on. They went on a fricken BOMBING RUN. While ducking under the seagulls, I dropped a bag of groceries, and apples went everywhere. I picked up about half, and then went for the others. The seagulls had landed at this point, and were standing around the remaining apples. I approached, and they swarmed/bombed me AGAIN!!! I eventually got and washed the apples, but sill... WTF? :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|

More like time to wash my jacket and pants. Good thing it's waterproof. :|

Anyone have a link to that game where you launch rockets at seagulls?

I fish on the piers in the bay area and there are seagulls all abound trying to steal your bait and your catch if you're not looking.

One day one of my friends tied an anchovy with some fishing line and threw it on the middle of pier and held the other end of the line which was about 25 ft long. A couple of seconds later one of the seagulls swooped down and took the anchovy and swallowed it and then proceeded to fly overhead. My friend yanked on the line and pulled the anchovy out from the birds mouth but along with the anchovy came out the rest of the contents of the birds stomach that included partially digested bait and other crap. It fell on some of the fishermen that were fishing on the side who were minding their own business. They started cussing and yelling at the bird but little did they know that it was my friend who caused the mishap. We were on the side laughing our asses off.

I heard seagulls like eyeballs.


Anyway, seagulls are highly aggressive birds. Their claws often damage the paint on cars.

QFT. A "good Mormon" taught me that trick many years ago....WARNING! HIGHLY illegal...
I also enjoy tossing a bit of bait our for them, and playing them on the line just like a kite...but that's also illegal...if you get caught...

Heh, here they were perfectly benign today. The one K-mart parking lot was filled with them. There must have been a few hundred there. They were all just huddled down to the ground. One car tried to drive through, and they'd just get all pissy and move out of its way at the last second, and then huddle back as close as they could to any exposed blacktop.

The wind chill was a little below zero today, and it's dropping to -15F tonight. Even wildlife has limits as to how cold is too cold.
