steal fish from the pouches of pelicans

Pretty brave (stupid) bird. I've seen video of a pelican swallowing a duck who was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Why? Do you think the bird was still hungry?

euthanized

In other words, he killed it. It doesn't say "kill," "die," or "dead" anywhere in the piece. Someone without the New Millenium MSM Approved Lexicon might be at a loss to understand the story.

No one should have to put up with abuse from birds. This endangered species mania is BS

Oh, and for some reason, this triggers a memory: don't ever try to be humane and take wounded bird to a sanctuary in Florida. The wild animal police will harass you until you wish you never had.

One bird hit Djuric's wife in the head... Djuric was defecated on.

I'd probably have taken a swing at him myself.

Heermann's gulls are on the Audubon Society's watch list for at-risk birds.

This guy's @ss is grass now.

What was the time line? His wife was getting attacked, they dropped the ice cream and he started swinging or did he started beating the birds after it was over?

Either way, protected or not, any animal that attacks humans should be put down IMO. What if the next time it is a toddler's face?

In other news a man was taken to hospital with multiple lacerations after saving his son from a vicious attack by a rabid pit bull. He was placed under arrest by police for animal cruelty after he admitted using force to save his son’s life. PETA have separately filed a civil suit against him.

“The creatures are surprisingly aggressive”

The bird was all like, “I’m a rare Heermann’s gull. I’m on the Audubon Society’s watch list for at-risk birds. Whatcha gonna do punk?!?”

A flock of gulls looking for food can be pretty darned aggressive. . .reminiscent of Hitchcock's "The Birds".

I've seen a large flock of seagulls(lol) attack a child alone at a picnic table at the SF Zoo and thougt things were about to get out of control for a momnet there. Poor kid lost his sandwhich and fries...
The Gulls looked my direction next, but they stood down after I swore at them...
