Gee,and all this time I've just been worried about them pooping on my head. You know, they circle over head screaming: "Feed us or we'll poop on you!"

Mr Roby's death is the most extreme case in recent times, although last year there were reports of a woman being nearly "scalped" by the birds. Several dogs and cats have been killed by seagulls - actually herring gulls - which become over-protective of their young who are now leaving the nests.
And there's not much that can be done about it. Isn't that the motto of the Euros with regard to Islamic terrorism.

Pigeons definitely do this. They march along toward your sandwich, and if you are discourteous enough to finish the whole thing, you get a wet flyby.

This is unbelievable, I never heard of seagulls killing anyone. There are quazillions of them where I am in NY, and they're just beggars.
What I don't understand is why are these pest birds protected in Britain? They're certainly not endangered here.

Issue .22 rifles to every resident and declare open season. No bag limit. Wait, this is Britain. Never mind.

The English variety of herrring gull appears to be much more aggressive than those I've encountered here.
On a trip to the UK a coule of years ago; my husband & I were walking along a harbor on the coast of Cornwall. A woman nearby was eating an ice cream cone when a gull came swooping in and stole the cone right out of her hand.
We decided to stand under an awning to eat our ice cream just in case the robber returned to the scene of his crime.

Heh. Where I come from, we'd just pop a couple of them with a 12gauge and hang them up on a pole. Usually made the others kinda get the message that it wasn't a good area to live.

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.
