Hello
I was just wondering if anyone here knew a lot on these birds? I have read up on them and have heard MANY stoyries about how they are the most agreessive birds in the world. BUT the thing i dont understand is they have webbed feet and dont seem all that powerful i mean how much can agression take a bird if it doesnt have the power to back it up? for example ive heard they will kill other birds almost the same size of them and steal food from gennets who are larger birds by beating them into giving up their kill! how are they able to do this which a bird that large? FURthermore ive heard they will attack GREAT black backed gulls also who have a horrible reputation for being very agressive as well! JUSt curious is there anything out there that has been known to prey on skuas? Anywhere i can get footage of these amazing birds in action?
