Exactly the same as the seagull would have done had the roles been reversed.
Pecked its eyes out and taken a dump on it!
^ This - evil fkers seagulls, they take no prisoners (but lots of chips)
This. I remember holidays as a kid of them attacking you for chips or ice cream. One fisherman was being dive bombed and booted one out of the sky. Fond memories.

I dispatched a blackbird which was very injured and couldn't fly in our garden. Used a brick on it's head as I figured this would be instant. I felt terrible about it even though I had ended it's suffering.

I have no idea how to wring a birds neck, seems a slightly psychopathic skill to possess in our modern sanitised society?
Very common among anyone that’s ever shot pheasants for example if dog brings a bird back not quite dead. But yeh, fairly niche!
Niche I can accept, but psychopathic? What about people who work in abattoirs, or surgeons who do unbelievably gory things inside the body? Are their skills psychopathic, too?
It's often said being a mild psychopath/sociopath is a good trait for a surgeon! In reality I suspect it's just the layman's view of someone comfortable with operating on a person. They are still a doctor trying to save someone, they just deal with the gory side of it.

Rescued a baby sparrow from some netting in the garden in the pouring rain.
Put a tea towel over it and freed it from the netting then put it on the table and tried to dry it off a bit.

After a few minutes, it shat on the table then flew to it's parents who were hopping around the garden.

For quite a few months afterward I used to have a very friendly sparrow coming to see me when I was having a smoke in the garden.

Then the cats got it frown

In the OPs situation I'd have taken it out of view of any children and killed it (either bash to the head with a big stone/brick or stamp on it).

Years back I winged a rabbit on a single track road. It was writhing about in agony underneath a stone wall so the best thing I could do was finish it off. Used a big stone to the head.

In those cases better to end the animals' suffering than worry about what it looks like to others.

Around 15 years ago I was heading home late on passing through a local village when I heard a dull thud at the front of the car.Walking to the back of the car I see a cat with a name tag laying on its side clearly in distress as it kept trying to get up but couldn’t move.

With houses on both sides of the street and not wanting to be seen I made a quick grim decision I got back in the Mondeo dropped the driver’s window put it in reverse and listened for the crunch and rise of the back end.

I hope it worked as the following morning I avoided that route for obvious reasons.

Yes you could say that no interest in viewing my handiwork,also didn’t want to risk being recognised and caught up in some drama where I end up being blamed for something!

That line has all the ingredients to become a legendary Pistonheads quote, in the vein of frozen sausages, one eye on the phone etc.

I’m not having a pop at you at all. It’s a genuinely good line.

My friend was quite upset as a Gull swooped down and stole food from the daughter of a girl he was dating, they were on a pebbly beach and as the gull ate the food he idly lobbed (quite hard) a stone at it, the stone struck it with a massive clonk and it took off in a run fly and then died on the beach which really upset the mum and daughter.

Yes it does have a certain flow about it reading it back.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. And one had a beef sandwich off me in Barmouth. Bloody beaks are savage if they catch you.
