gstacks Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Someone just told me that gulls are the only birds that poop while flying. Other birds have to be perched when they poop. I’m dubious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colton V Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I’ve seen countless other birds poop in flight so that is not true. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If gulls were the only ones pooping on cars, the car washes would lose a lot of business. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamRHead Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I once nearly nearly got plastered by a Great Egret. I was working on a roof. It came over and laid an enormous swath. Just missed me. It looked like a water bomber unloading. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
