... you came out from the mall and found a flock of sea gulls pecking away at the top of your car? :shocked

Feed them AlkiSeltzer?:) j/k.
Scare them away. I wonder why they would be attracted to the cleanest shinest car in the lot.

Wow, that`s a *picture* :eek: I wonder if there was something about that car (the LSP perhaps) that made it especially attractive to them.
I`ve often wondered by Seagulls seem attracted to large parking lots. I`m sure they know the difference, but I can`t help but wonder if the lots resemble bodies of water.

Maybe thats it. The seagulls thought that the roof of your car was a pool of water?

I also think they see it as water. I notice I get nats, spiders and other little guyz hanging around too after a fresh wash or detail.
To answer the question, personally I`d spread my arms, wave them up and down and run at the car while screaming GAWWW !!! GAWWW !!! GAWWW !!! It usually works. It`ll also put your friends in to hysterics if done properly.

Heh heh heh.
Yeah, to (actually :o ) answer the question, I`d scare `em off too, but I`d try to *not* freak them out any more than necessary, lest they "scramble" to take off and scratch the car up even more. And some gulls aren`t too scared of people (watch those beaks ;) ).

Pretty funny. I think appropriatly enough that that song was written by A Flock Of Seagulls. I could easily be wrong though.:)
