I don't get these people. Seagulls have always been aggressive assholes, why is this suddenly news? There's nothing "ultra" about these gulls unless they're dropping rocks to smash windows or they've learned how to pick locks.

I'm a former resident of Swansea and I can assure you that every time I go back to visit family or friends, the seagulls there have become larger, more aggressive and more cunning. I don't think the article is an exaggeration.

Is it possible that it's another species of gull that has moved into the area? There's been a lot of odd bird migrations and relocations over the last few years. But it's also possible for the local species to get bigger/meaner too. Given how nasty they are to begin with, that's a scary thought.

If gulls were as smart as crows, it would be full-on death-by-seagull. They're already greedy and vicious; they just need the capacity to figure out how to murder humans and they would.

In my experience they've got great aim as well.

It's funny how it used to be a probatable offense to use unoriginal/overdone phrases on these forums, I kind of miss it. Mods let anything slide now, bunch of cucks.

Why would you even bother being a gull enthusiast? They're extremely common. That's like being a birder whose only interest is sparrows.

No, but you see, there are actually unique subspecies that like to travel with the more common ones, except it's not always easy to distinguish them from the ordinary ones, so you have to capture them in flight, and then look at specific wing patterns, and :words:

Also don't you talk poo poo about sparrows, they're awesome! :argh:

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
Sparrows are cool as hell, and I could watch them hop around and peck the ground for hours. There's a nest of sparrows near a overhang of a window where I work, and it's basically the best thing that's ever happened here. There's also some house finches nearby, and they hang out together.

From the related articles on the baby murdering one: "Seagulls are protected by ancient religious laws". I'm not sure if the people who wrote those laws were anticipating ultra seagulls but that just leads to the second amendment assault rifle debate.

Wrens are great, too. There's a pair that nest in a tree right outside my bedroom window, feasting on bugs attracted to the window at night.
