It's...it's...it's GULLICIDE...!!!

From uk.local.london from years ago:

Gullicide:

"this bloody sea gull is screeching all bloody day and when I go out
on my balcony it keeps on divebombing me then it sits on the top of
the building and watches me. Every bloody time I go out on the balcony
it starts flying in circles round me making this god-awful noise. Can
Ijust kill the f*****r ? Does anyone have an air-rifle I could borrow
(or would I get a swat team bursting through the windows. I'm a bit
worried with a catapult since I'm not particularly dextrous and there
are neighbours windows opposite but put that little ****er in a cross-
sight and kaboom like a burst pillow. ******* bird is screeching
again...

There is a way to do it, it's kinda sick though. You need some
bicarbonated soda, cheap from any chemist, and some bread. Insert
lumps of the bicarb into the bread and then feed the birds. Then get
inside quickly or wear some disposable clothing...

What happens is the bicarb fizzes up in the bird's stomach just like
it doesin water. But when the bird gets a bad attack of gas it panics
(rightly so in this case) and flies off. Actually it flies high, as
high as it can get, which is a bad move. The fizzing bicarb increases
the atmospheric pressure in the bird's stomach while outside the
pressure drops as it flies higher and higher. Within about 30 seconds
the bird explodes in a very messy cloudof feathers, blood and guts.

Hey kids! You know you really shouldn't but why don't you try this at
home ?"
