Vicious these birds are.

Too bad.

Very interesting. Magpies were one of the main birds in Alaska. Never seen them go on attack mode though.

When I lived in Duluth, MN, Seagulls down by the waterfront were on the nasty side. Anyone coming out of a fast food place with a bag, was fair game.

When we went wilderness camping, we always put fish guts on a rock a bit out in the lake. In less than five minutes the gulls would come and clean up the mess. Quick and easy way to clean up fish entrails.

Red Wing Blackbirds nesting in the reeds next to lakes on golf courses are very territorial as well
