That’s a term usually reserved for official documentation linked to events such as nuclear war, chemical attacks or major virus outbreaks.
THAT’s how hardcore Aberdonian gulls are.
Wanna prove yourself as a hard man? Walk along Aberdeen beach holding out a poke o’ chips. Make it from fittie to Codonas alive without a peck or a poop and you’ve proved yourself.
Read on for the full survivors’ guide >>>

I went to Aberdeen ONCE in my life and I fully understand why this is needed. Bless you Aberdeenians! Stay strong.

I remember visiting friends in Aberdeen and the remains of a fish landing at my feet – the seagull had just dropped its litter

I had a relationship with an urban gull for three years in my mid-twenties. We lived together, it was quite turbulent, and I really wish I had a copy of this at the time.

Wish I’d seen this before we were terrorized by seagulls at Codona’s funfair in Aberdeen last July. Had to hide indoors.

I saw an Aberdeen gull snatch a sandwich out someone’s hand. They’re bold
