So unfair. Meanwhile, if a flock of seagulls picks you up and flies away with you, there are no legal consequences for them whatsoever.
Almost happened to me once, but then I ran. I ran so far away. I just ran, I ran all night and day.
It's not so bad, really. From up here, Aurora borealis comes in view
I understand that this is upsetting, as I know many Michigan residents who have lost loved ones in the Seagull Wars.
However, seagull deterrents are legal, as long as it does not directly harm the birds themselves.

A human would probably be too heavy for a flock of seagulls to fly away with. They'd be more likely to run so far away with you.

Perhaps too heavy for Herring Gulls, but they could be carried by Great Black-Backed Gulls.
Perhaps if they were to put you on a line between them
I really feel there’s a coconut joke in here somewhere
Not entirely true. In bird culture, that is considered a dick move.
Unless the seagulls pick you up in a giant ass peach with the intention of freeing you from an abusive parent.
However, if A Flock of Seagulls picked you up and took off with you, there WOULD be legal consequences.
This is their land, we just moved here
What if they poke you in the coconut?
That counts as consent.
then the coconut has a pretty good case and should call a lawyer
Well, I'd like to see anyone stop me, cuz my living room full of seagulls begs to differ.
When the feds come to your door, they're gonna hear all those seagulls.
This entire post has been a wonderful read. Thank you all, for the good work you do.
You're welcome. Happy to contribute useful knowledge to the community. 👍
There's nothing protecting pigeons though right? What about Canadian geese?
If you manage to wrestle Canadian geese into submission you might as well get to keep it.
What about Canadian geese?
Regular geese with Canadian citizenship enjoy no special protections. Canada geese are protected, though if you've ever encountered one, you'd know that the protection is more for you than them.
Canada Goose is covered. Rock Dove is not.
You don't mess with Canada Gooses. Those are Canada's fuckin' gooses.
Messing with Canada Geese is illegal.
Taking pigeons is apparently fine, as long as they do not belong to anyone else.
Bird law in this country is not governed by reason.
They can absolutely kidnap you though
