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.

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.

These ninnys are going to get everyone killed eventually.

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.

[CindyDawg]

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?!?”

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...

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

The estimated population of Heermann's gulls is 525,000.

524,999

[The Electrician]

A rare gull that apparently tried to eat a couple's ice cream was euthanized after the man beat the bird with a stick.

Laguna Beach being Laguna Beach, it's a wonder that the man wasn't euthanized instead...

[Flycatcher]

In breeding plumage, the Heermann's gull is probably the prettiest gull in North America. I wouldn't call it rare, though.

Along the California coast, it's uncommon to common.

But who am I to argue with Audubon?

[Sacajaweau]

A RARE Gull?? Gimme a break!!

My buddy threw a piece of bread out the window while we were having lunch on Lake Ontario.

Thank God we were in the car...There were 100's of them in 10 seconds!!

He's an employee. Never took him to the lake for lunch again!!

I was attacked by a male Rufus Hummingbird, but, I didn't take it personally as he was attacking anything coming to close to it's nest...However,I did take it personal when a male Prairie Falcon attacked me while I was banding his chicks(he was not impressed with my BLM permit).
