This piece flips the script on the usual narrative about seagulls being pests. Instead of blaming the birds for being noisy or stealing food, the author argues that humans are the real problem—we've invaded their habitats and then act surprised when they adapt.

If we keep disrupting ecosystems and then wage war on the creatures that survive anyway, who’s really the nuisance? It’s a cheeky reminder that sharing the planet isn’t just poetic—it’s practical.
