People often fight about which birds are the best birds,
but everybody can agree that seagulls are the worst.
Edit:
spoiler
For those who still don't get the reference: https://youtube.com/watch?v=3Xl0Qr0uXuYCloudy With a Chance of Meatballs described them best. Rats with fucking wings.
You talk like a man who's never been attacked by a wild turkey.
I haven't. But also that line is from a song.
Turkeys are stupid and angry. I think the only bird less intelligent than a turkey would be a guinea fowl, but they have the edge of just being suicidally dumb. I've had a Guinea run away from my car and then back in front of it in confusion, but never have I had one openly charge my vehicle. I've had a turkey do that, though.
They may be the worst, but someone who kills out of annoyance needs to be on a watchlist.
Wait. Are seagulls worse than black swans? Are they worse than Australian Magpies? I mean these surely got to be the top three worst birds, personally I'd prefer a seagull to a swan, but I've met enough magpie haters so I wouldn't be so sure everyone agrees
Throw the Canadian Goose in that mix. That bird is simply evil.
Never seen neither of those, but I've seen enough seagulls to not be sad if one day they all be deleted off this fucking planet
For people not in the proximity of water it's pigeons. Fuck pigeons.
I love pigeons. They're like rats with wings.
Plus, it's kinda our fault that they're everywhere, since city pigeons are actually dometic animals that have gone feral
Rats are way smarter than pigeons, pigeons are dumb skyrats.
I love rats. They're like wingless pigeons.
I feel like you're disparaging rats...
Not at all. I like both.
I can explain. They carry diseases, shit everywhere and I actually need to be careful not to step on them and dodge when they fly near the ground because, they are absolutely not afraid of humans and also stupid af.
I totally support controlling their population, because they're nothing but a plague. Apparently swapping their eggs wirh decoys is very effective. Because they are stupid af.
Fuck you bro team pidgeon over here
Yes they can be a pest too, but seagulls are smart, loud and aggressive. Pigeons are meek, shy and not very bright.
I love seagulls
I live by the bay of a freshwater lake with gulls so I call they baygulls
