This is very Oban news. Instead of arrested, this man should be studied: it doesn’t seem easy to pick up a seagull? Then attack with it and have it be unharmed?

This man is a wizard

Article says he wasn't arrested, just "conveyed to his home"

I'm glad the birds were alright

Can't find this funny like I'm meant to and other comments seem to when its blatant animal abuse.

Understood, and I respect your empathy. Rest assured I never would have posted this if the article didn't report the birds are alive and well.

Can any experts in bird law weigh in on this?
