    Good form
    Great endurance for taking those pecks and so on
    Well usage of wings
    Perfect way to diverge away from the protector to get the target
    However could’ve done it sooner
    And I honestly feel like some defensiveness against the pecks would’ve been better
    Still, 8/10 for overall performance. You did well, Skua.

    Most of these -idiots- people: OmG BiRD Is EVil
    The skua: *feed primarily on (and prefer) fish, only taking eggs and chicks on occasion*
    Seriously though, don't hate on predators for eating meat, it's not their fault nature forces them to "kill" eggs that can't even think, feel pain, and don't even classify as a living thing. There are, without exaggeration, hundreds of thousand of penguins, a lost egg here and there won't hurt the population. Preventing the predator from eating the food it got fair and square is a pretty shallow thing to do, and makes you worse than what you _think_ the predators are, remove the killers in nature, _everything goes to shit_ , all this and I never mention giant petrels, which make skuas look peaceful by comparison
