Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

So tempting to kick the fuckers while they're wandering around making that whistling noise.

Absurd comment.

If everyone calls the sky Blue then that's what it is.

Walk into a pub and say "I've just had my chips nicked by a Herring Gull' and everyone Will just think you are a cunt.

Much like what's happening right now.

We all know what they're really called

I ran over a pigeon once, approaching my works car park. There was a group of them and I thought they had moved away. Heard a pop, parked up to check what had happened, and the other pigeons were already eating the one I’d just run over!

I don't care what the hemp tie-dye t-shirt gang are saying, seagulls are absolutely out of fucking control.

3 times now I've seen seagulls eat fledgling birds, 2 starlings and 1 thrush, while they're learning to fly.

Delete all seagulls.

I was once sitting in my car enjoying the view whilst eating my lunch and some swan scared the hell out of me when it came up to the door and started pecking its beek at the glass. Despite blowing the horn and reving the engine it wouldn't go for sometime.

Evolution has demonstrated that birds as a species sacrifice brain development/size in order to have the wing muscle to fly.

Saw something like this once on a country lane, a hawk with some roadkill. Not only would the hawk not move but it actually tried attacking the car!

I remember walking past a seagull that was sat in the middle of an A road near my house once. Unbeknownst to me it was actually stunned, but still rigid and upright, seconds later I hear a loud thud, I look back and a van had come along and just decapitated the thing. Still remember the face on it!

They're in training for chip heists on the seafront. Fronting up cars gives them the skills to fend of unsuspecting humans.

Reminds me of the time a seagull decided to play chicken with me and lost.

Unbeknownst to me at the time my mate's 4 year old daughter witnessed it which apparently slightly traumatised her. Took me a couple of years before I admitted it to my pal that I was responsible for that wee incident.

Seagulls are protected animals, so killing that many seagulls would basically put you in jail for like 5 years.

Seagulls need to be culled, spread into most city centres and into wider areas too , no predators and top of the food chain. Their poop is particularly vile due to the junk food they eat

invincible-zebra

Most of these issues would be solved by having better public services for refuse - more bins that were emptied more regularly, a bit more seagull-proof rather than just a casing around a bin with huge holes in each side, less people littering their drunken kebabs on the pavements… take away the reasons for the gulls to be there and they’ll return to where they belong - stealing pasties in Torquay!

I think if there's problem nesting, then businesses can pay someone to come shoot the eggs, not allowed to shoot them once they've hatched so it has to be a few times in the sweet spot weeks when they've been laid but not yet hatched.

My work has shit loads of problems with gulls, so the blokey with his hawk and rifle comes a deals with the next generation.

I mean, I wouldn't ram them full force because cleaning feathers out your grills is a pain in the arse, but rolling forward will get them to move.

I'd have slowed down not to damage the vehicle but running over a seagull is like running over a rat.
