I'd have just thrown the chips down and screamed and ran!!Never realised gulls were a training aid for the Olympics before.
Seagull brings down drone over Stranraer Academy
Published8 hours ago
A black-headed gull brought down a drone over a school in south west Scotland.
A roof survey was being carried out at Stranraer Academy in July when the attack occurred.
An Air Accidents Investigation Branch report said the pilot had never experienced the "level of aggression" shown by the bird.
It attacked the 6kg (13lb) drone, causing it to crash on the school roof and suffer substantial damage.
Probably mentioned it before but during the lockdown the saddest sight was a large gull forlornly tapping on the window of a deserted baker's high street shop.On R4's Today just now there was a report about Bristol University research into the feeding behaviour of gulls. They're 'gulls' now by the way, not necessarily 'seagulls', because they live inland where there is more food for them.
It seems the gulls have learned to associate signals like school bells and traffic patterns with food delivery. They know when to turn up for the best scavenging in playgrounds and council tips. They're not watching for a random meal to arrive: they let us tell them when dinner is ready.
This isn't yet on the BBC site so the only accessible source so far is the D**ly M**l which I will not recommend.
You'll have to take my word for it!

Awwwww, bless your wee cotton socksThat seagull was me.
That seagull was me.
UNCANNILY accurate.
No need- it was just being a lazy little blighter, easy takeaway nosh in normal times, instead of putting some effort in by catching stuff on the beach a 100m away. A nursing home Ms Petes worked in had a resident gull which would go down the side of the building tapping on each resident's patio door for food. If it got nowhere it would wait at the front door until someone went in or out and hop into the large reception area. The "pet" gull which called at my back door for breakfast and tea seems to have found somewhere serving better food.That's brought me to tears
He was convicted in his absence of intentionally killing a wild bird at Rhyl last January and disorderly behaviour by being abusive to police.
Nicholson had no previous convictions.
He was fined £180 for each of the two charges and ordered to pay £652 costs.
Pensioner killed seagull with walking stick when it snatched his Greggs
John Nicholson, 68, will have to pay over £1,000 after attacking the bird in revenge at losing his lunch.

Good job I wasn't there. I would have been arrested for severely assaulting a fellow pensioner. This sort of thing makes me ashamed to be a human being. (yes I'm aware of the irony)
Which goes to show what I have believed for a very long time- that there is no logic in the legal system whatsoever, and the reason why people have no faith in it. Why the Barrow knob wasn't given a prison sentence for assault on the Police I fail to comprehend.WTF?
£1,000 for walloping a pest species with his walking stick?
£180 in fines and compo for assaulting two police officers.

“She kissed him on the lips and during the course of that she bit through his tongue which caused a piece of his tongue to be removed.
“Mr McKenzie walked off and spat a part of his tongue out at which point the piece of muscle was picked up by a large seagull that made off with the piece of tongue.”
The fiscal told the court the chunk of tongue bitten off during the struggle was approximately two centimetres by three centimetres in size
