Feed 'em Alka Seltzer tablets wrapped in bread.

They've no way to fart or burp ya know.

Reminds me of a scene from the movie Shrek.

A brilliant, captivating piece of cinema.

These losers deserve this crap. Who in their right mind doesn't hit back at an agressor? Some puke who can't own a firearm. Darwin is finding his English roots.

At the plant were I work I have the same problem with swallows. They nest in overhangs and I must pass by these areas several times a day.

They seem to be more aggressive around dawn and dusk. They are superb flyers. They swoop down at me and pull away at the last second easily with in arms reach screeching warning calls at me just inches away. When they do this and I am not expecting it, it can be quite startling.

They don’t seem to do this when I am walking with another person. I guess they respect numbers.

No doubt we'll be hearing theories about the Ozone Layer or greenhouse gases.

Nah. It's Lincoln's fault.

Seagulls are protected largely because they are the 'garbage collectors' of the shoreline. They eay all the dead stuff that washes up and without them being around, it can get mighty smelly. They are like little garbage cans with wings.

Spain has the live pigeon shoot, England needs the live Seagull shoot.

She was Barabara Seagull, in her David Carradine LSD days.

Yeah, and didn't they name their child "Free"? Yikes!
