Kite attack

Since about ten years, anytime I fly my eagle kite, it' s attacked by seagulls in less than 3 mn.
The beach is situated intown, nesting area is 3km apart.
Before starting, the sky is clear, seagulls come from miles away, only to attack.

05:39 Holy shit! It's a topless beach! Nice one, French!

Ordinary beach, here.

Real life stories still seem the best. Here there is a beatiful beach but it's poluted by seaguls droppings. They always look for better ways to scare the birds off. Here they used dogs. Another place they use hawlks. My friend is a Conservation Officer in Colorado with hundreds of stories.

@Dallouez Here we got a problem with them, because this beach is in the axis of runways, and they use to regroup on runway , after threshold. As there is a small bump, you cannot see them, once, I ' ve killed 16 in only one take- off, fortunately, it was a heavy duty aircraft, not too many damages.

Cool story.. I guess I think I know why because I had birds fly into my window a lot. I use to live in the country and saw things most people don't see. Like I had a minature weasle attack a chimpmonk (sp) a shrick (sp). How about this I swam a lot in the same place one day I felt I was being followed and saw a school of a dozen fish swimming with me. One even let nme tickle it while it looked through my facemask. Wanna know why? LOL

@Dallouez I dive often in the sea in my beach. I feed the shrimps and fishes. Once, I had a small schrimp eating bread in my hand while another one was rummaging through my hair on arm looking for crumbs. I ' ve yet patted a cuttlefish and a torpedo ray, but when my young son tried to pat the torpedo, it has shocked him. In West Indies, during a special grey day, all small fishes have got mad and attacked all swimmers. Funny to see people running out of water after 3 meters swim.

Imagine if there was a whole squadron of those kites! The seagulls would be going NUTS!

Should be a way to electrocute those fuckin' seagulls!

@Dallouez Thanks.

i' ve seen various videos where birds attack men. As towns grow and invade their areas, they consider towns as their territory, and chase everything they do' nt want to see. Yesterday, at 7 am, a seagull has landed on my windowsill and knocked at the window, obviously, it was a request. First time in 30 years !
