Elderly folk who escape from their cold native habitats to the warm and dry desert of Arizona from November-April every year. While local shopkeepers, innkeepers, and other employees of the service industry may tell them that their dollar is welcome, every native son and daughter of the desert prays for the day the temperature gets above 90 degrees. That is the point that people from the regions known as the Midwest, Canada, and the East Coast board their land barges, manufactured by companies such as Buick, Lincoln, and Winnebago and begin their trek back to the colder lands.
While the locals will tell the snowbirds that they are welcome, the are truly nothing more than intruders and interlopers in our fair desert home. They make up for 1/2 of the traffic during their season, yet they find every loophole to keep their vehicles registered out of state, thus forcing the locals to pay for all the damage that they cause to the road. They carry an arrogant attitude that says "I'm spending my money here, treat me like royalty."
Snowbirds would be considered little more than a harmless nuisance if it were not for the fact that they are allowed to drive here in Arizona. Local drivers here in Arizona (the ones with Arizona Tags) are scientifically proven to be the most hopelessly stupid people ever to sit behind a steering wheel. Unfortunately, add lost drivers with slowing revlexes, poor vision, and vehicles the size of small apartments and there is little reason as to why car insurance is so high out here.
Spotting Tips: Look for cheap diner-style resturaunts such as Villiage Inn or Denny's which serve food that can be afforded on a so called "fixed income" (whatever that is). The snowbirds can typically be spotted here. When approaching these parking lots, give the snowbirds a wide berth, as they will often perform a fifty-two point turn to get into their space. Their average time (this has been clocked) in successfully backing out of a space is typically four minutes and twenty three seconds, so if you are in a hurry, steer clear.

1. I went to the supermarket to get a gallon of Milk today, but it took me six hours because the Snowbirds in front of me argued over the expiration dates of their uncut coupons. They then proceeded to pay for their groceries with a check.
2. The snowbird paid for his $14 pizza delivery with unrolled change and did not tip the driver.
3. The snowbird did not see the light turn green, and sat still for the entirety of the light, despite the mile-long line of cars honking at her.

Mostly old people from up north who flock to Florida every winter just to clog up roads with way too many people, Adding horrible driving to the already ghastly driving of most Floridians. They also make it impossible to spend less than 45 min. in Wal-Mart. While the locals are wearing 5 different layers during the 2 weeks of winter, those assholes are walking around in shorts commenting on how very warm it is. On occasion some of the younger ones bring down some killer kine bud. They also call soda, pop.
I was going to go to the store to buy some munchies, but there were too many snowbirds around. Is that snowbird crazy wearing shorts, it's like 70 degrees outside?!

A basketball player who never runs back on defense. This individual always calls for the ball before the defense returns.

a snowbird is a girl who only wants to chill if there's coke around. you could possibly get her in the sack if you have enough coke and shes not to fucked up. pretty much a waste of time and money.

"dont bother, shes a fucking snowbird" says his friend

Elderly people who travel to Florida during the winter months. They arrive after Thanksgiving, go home for Christmas and come back the day after New Years and stay until Early April.
They clog the restaurants and the roads (driving 20mph under the limit) and love to pull out in front of you when there's no one behind you. Anyone growing up in Central and South Florida will have the opportunity to learn what all the license plates of the US and Canada look like. Only benefit is these people bring their money and stimulate the economy.

Kid: "Dad why did that old man from NY just pull out in front of us and drive slow?"
Dad: "Son, its wintertime in Florida, that is a snowbird"

A canadian snowbird coming to florida on vacation for two weeks on a package deal with $216 to spend. Elderly snowbird couple in a very large car stopped on US41 in the center lane, waiting for 600 or so cars to go past them so they can make the left turn into Denny's. The same elderly couple buying a one dollar lottery ticket at 7/11 and searching thru their purse for correct change.
