most aggressive gull? minus GBB and glaucous (1 Viewer)

we know gbb gulls specially will fight falcons and even goshawks off their kills when on the ground and attack osprays in their air force them to drop their catch.

Abnormal levels of aggression.


But other than these 2 giants plus the pallas gull (GBHG) is there any super aggressive gulls?

The american herrring gull seems larger and more aggressive than its euro counter part? here they attack pigeons daily and slaughter them in the mall parking lot.

I heard kelp gulls attack whales even from news reports

any other gull equipped to do serious damage like the 2 other above?

we see lbb gulls victimized and herring gulls also victimized a lot by hawks, falcons and skuas but makes me wonder I think these gulls are weak, young, sick to be so easily taken out?

I never seen kelp gulls taken by hawks or skuas. I actually seen them attack large skuas. We see skuas taking gulls as well but have to wonder if these are sick weak or young. JUst like they take grey herons. I can't imagine a skua taking a grey heron but reports say they do? The herons must be at a serious disadvantage when it occurs.

oh god here we go again......:eek!:

Alan you are from the falklands you probably have some amazing experience? I would love to hear about the turkey vultures, caracara, and giant albatross? It seems to be the new galapagos for birders?

Reading through threads people talk a lot of western gulls being very nasty when banding them compared to other gulls. But i have helped rescue other species they all bite nasty.

I think the answer was already established many times that it was the Great Black Backed Gull. I have no idea if Glaucous Gull or Pallas Gull kill ducks, rabbits etc.
