Pope's dove of peace almost ends in pieces: Seagull attacks bird

Releasing a dove is a symbolic appeal for peace. But when the Pope tried it yesterday, it led to quite a flap.

Nobody had bargained on a resident seagull who apparently hadn't been listening to the Holy Father's sermon.

It swooped in and attacked the bird of peace as soon as Pope Benedict XVI released the dove from a balcony at the Vatican.

The Osprey is a somewhat smaller bird, but hassles Bald Eagles when it can. I watched as the smaller male Osprey chased a Bald Eagle about a mile from the Osprey's nest. The Osprey returned and—I swear—he looked left and right, as though to ask, "Did anybody see what I just did?"

Crows harass Bald Eagles also.

It’s called “mobbing” and they can keep it up for hours.The eagle stays put on a branch near the nest because there are eaglets in it.

I found this. Some libs think a bunch of seagulls symbolizes Obama’s election win.

It was an albino monk assassin seagull Vatican agent trained by the Pope himself. The dove had learned gnostic illuminati secrets long supressed by Rome and was about to reveal all to the world.

While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:3

Having said that it looks like the dove got away - go dove!
