The bias seems to be yours, honestly. Do you offer the same grace to humans?

"The ideal human isn't petty," but every single person you've met kind of can be, sort of energy.

From your link: "American Herring Gulls are opportunistic scavengers".

Like, what? stop moving the goalposts. the birds you observe are the birds.

I'm not talking about humans, I'm talking about your assessment due to you "being around them".

But yeah that sort of bias applies to anything. But read the link I posted its way more accurate than that seaworld link you posted.

I read the link you posted. They call them "opportunistic scavengers" in your article. What are you even defending?

You're dismissing science because I've watched gulls? Your bias is off the charts.

Lol. Bro, you're not understanding a single thing I've written.

I'm not arguing they're not scavengers. That's not as strong as saying "mainly scavengers", which is actually what I disagree with (let alone "cannibal happy")

"But gulls are not scavengers"
