Anyways, try this for yourself. Next time you see a gull raise your hands up and wave them about. The gull will instantly notice you and either back away or take off.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
Rodents with wings. And don't even get me started on doves....
Still, when all is said and done, they are part of this place, and do add something (besides **** and property damage) to the natural environment. I can share.

I too was noticing the plethora of poop downtown.
Edited to add:
Does anyone recall a couple of years ago, an air conditioning repair man was attacked by nesting seagulls?
Some issue about not removing the nest because they are marine birds?
Meanwhile the offices where in inferno in the middle of summer.

Dylan, I feel for you. One of my windows is pooped over and I can't clean it without risking life and limb on a ladder or paying Victoria Window Cleaners... By now it's probably bonded with the storm window glass, never to come off... Grrr...

Before the crack of dawn every morning they'd *CRAWK* and *CROWL* for ages keeping the entire vicinity awake, until they ****ed off to the nearest beach, or to the next dumpster to leave us humans in our slumber for the next hour or two.
Still. I have an odd affection for the bird. You can't fault them for their resilience. And they are beautiful.

It's really bad in Chinatown and the Design District, probably due to the amount of restaurant garbage and proximity to the water. And these birds don't leave behind little pigeon poops, either. They let go with massive S-bombs that can instantly cover a car or sidewalk cafe table from end to end. It looks like a water bomber releasing its load over a forest fire.
That's why I hate seeing people feeding sea gulls and pigeons, those things can scavenge enough food on their own. People toss them leftovers so they can get stuffed, then crap all over the place. I love coming out of a store to see a massive splatter of bird poop all over my windshield...

Over rocks and trees and sand
Soaring over cliffs
And gently floating down to land
She proudly lifts her voice
To sound her mating call
And soon her mate responds by singing
Caw Caw Caw
Come with me
Lesbian Seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Fly with me lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me that's where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're with me
She skims the water
At the new time to seek
Her fish and she emerges
With one squirming in her beak
She plays among the waves
And hides between the swells
She walks the beach at twilight
Searching for some shells
Come with me
Lesbian Seagull
Settle down and rest with me
Oh fly with me lesbian seagull
To my little nest by the sea
With me that's where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you're -- you're with me
And in the evening
As they watch the setting sun
She loooks at her as if to say
The day is done
It's time to find their shelter
Hidden in the dunes
And fall asleep the
Music of the moon
You and me
Lesbian seagull
You just watch the world oh my
Just you and me lesbian seagull
Side by side with me 'till we die
('Till we die)
You and I
We can make it if we try
Our love will keep us flyin' high
Until we die...
