Seagulls use disproportionate force...
Until they meet me. 10 miles inland in Ventura/L.A. County, a "nice bunch of seagulls" were flying aroung making noise and terrorizing local wildlife. One the size of a chicken was flying at me with it's beak open and landing gear down. I Slapped the damned thing 90 degrees in azimuth. All I wanted to do is go to my truck on a Saturday morning to get something. Washed my hands before touching any part of my body. Filthy birds.
