I have to say that this is an amazing discovery. Just imagine what it would be like if it were alive today.

This passes as science communication. Wow.

Good on 'er. It's still the weakest opening sentence of a science article I've read. An Imgur commenter would've been ashamed of that one.
Coming to an episode of QI near you.

For clarity, my objection is not due to a lack of scientific content. 'Like X on steroids' is unacceptably shit, unimaginative writing. To open an article with it is pathetic.
That's bullshit, if a seagull did a steroid cycle, even if it was heavy in trenbolone he could NEVER get to such size. It would be possible if he abused HGH and slin, and ate like a beast and had a proper bodybuilding routine. But just steroids? No way. But in case some seagull wants to get to a 5 meter wingspan, I designed a pretty decent cycle to get CLOSE to 5 meters. Here it is:
1g tren
1g test e
1g npp
100mg dbol/drol
Just cruise on it forever. If you want to be a seagull with a 5 meter wingspan, this is what it takes.

Considering how massive that thing is, I kinda don't want to imagine that.

Always with the teeth that are growing out the side of the mouths / beaks. It seems like either everything that lived in the dinosaur days had overgrowing teeth or they just make that bit up as you don't get many at all with that now, as it is better to have teeth that actually fit.
Damn. I thought the largest bird ever was New Zealand's extinct Moa

The description doesn't fit, if not a synonym of menace
I can just picture an oversize shark jumping a building length to just rip it to shreds xD
Largest "flying" bird, not to nitpick, but:
inb4 theropod dinosaurs were arguably birds;
Still, pretty rad. That's a big seagull.
If you don't like my poetry, scroll down the page a bit. It gets better.
