Hi folks, I live near the beach so flocks of seagulls are everywhere, anyway twice now I have been driving minding my own business when I have noticed a seagull fly straight in the direction of my car and launch a turd on my roof or windscreen whilst travelling at around 40km/h or so. Can any birds lovers out there clarify is this normal behaviour or just a bad coincidence? I'm not one to feed these leeches so wondering if this could be related.
