People really argue about which birds are the best birds, but everyone can agree that seagulls are the worst.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs described them best. Rats with fucking wings.

You talk like a man who's never been attacked by a wild turkey.

I haven't. But also that line is from a song.

Turkeys are stupid and angry. I think the only bird less intelligent than a turkey would be a guinea fowl, but they have the edge of just being suicidally dumb. I've had a Guinea run away from my car and then back in front of it in confusion, but never have I had one openly charge my vehicle. I've had a turkey do that, though.

They may be the worst, but someone who kills out of annoyance needs to be on a watchlist.

Wait. Are seagulls worse than black swans? Are they worse than Australian Magpies? I mean these surely got to be the top three worst birds, personally I'd prefer a seagull to a swan, but I've met enough magpie haters so I wouldn't be so sure everyone agrees

Throw the Canadian Goose in that mix. That bird is simply evil.

Never seen neither of those, but I've seen enough seagulls to not be sad if one day they all be deleted off this fucking planet
