A northern American that migrates to Florida during the months of October through April.
An elderly person who drives 1x10^25 too slow, and drives a huge, polluting SUV covered in war veteran stickers. And when they drive, their heads tend to disappear.
Someone who complains about the locals just because their lives are now obsolete and meaningless.
Someone who donates unfathomable amounts of money to funds that don't really need it (btw...thx).

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.

the biggest pieces of shit in the entire fucking world. old people who make every restaraunt in the whole state of florida crowded from 2-10 p.m. all snowbirds migrate south for the winter so their rich asses don't have to deal with snow. they take their entire goddamn families and drive down the middle of the road at .000000000000000000000001 miles per hour, and are known for causing crashes at this intense speed. although, the younger snowbirds have been known to push 5 mph at times. all snowbirds are stubborn, rich, and have absolutley no idea how to drive a car.
person 1: hey person 2, want to go get something to eat?
perosn 2: we can't, it's fucking snowbird season!
person 1: let's go crash their million dollar cars so maybe they will leave!
person 2: great idea!
person 1: yeah, snowbirds suck ass!

A military term used when describing someone who is required to be at a certain training assignment but cannot actually begin for an extended period of time. Therefore they have to just chill in the area (like a snowbird) until they can finally conduct their assigned training. Sometimes they are given menial tasks or details, especially when snowbirding for several weeks or even months.

According to S'uthern legend, there exists a land north of the Mason-Dixon line called "Can-o-duh" (spelling is unconfirmed). From this mythical land where roads are made of ice, and dwellings made of compacted snow blocks formed in a dome, come a people who flock to Florida. Upon arrival, these "Snowbirds" dye their hair blue and wreak terror on the interstate.

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?!

Old people who live in northern states, such as New York, Michigan, Vermont, Connecticut, etc, most of the year, but come October, all flock to Florida or bordering states. Well known for filling up our roads, beaches, restaurants, pretty much anywhere you can think. Native Floridians are the best drivers on earth due to having to share a road with them, and deal with their driving habits such as driving half the speed limit in a passing lane or coming to an absolute dead stop to make a turn on a busy road. The only reason snowbirds are widely accepted here is because most businesses and touirst traps see them as dollar signs, and they will gladly spend 30 dollars on a Florida mug with their grandkids names on it. Thats just a facade though, when in reality, most native floridians want them gone. The closer you get to a body of water, the snowbird density with increase. Most of them always complain about traffic, and how crowded everything is, when in reality they are the cause of the problem. They love to brag about their home states and how things are better back up north, but in reality, no one here gives a shit. They also believe that without them, Florida's economy would collapse, when in reality, it would rid the state of tourist traps that hug the interstate, something that no one here wants to begin with. Bottom line, snowbirds are people come down to Florida every winter to enjoy the whether, but complain about almost everything else...
Example 1
Floridian 1: Why does Google Maps say its going to take an hour to get to the mall? That drive is normally 10 minutes?
Floridian 2: Some snowbird flipped their Lincoln on I-75 because they slammed on their breaks trying to look at the scenery. Lets just go the back way and hope the same thing hasn't happened in that direction.
Example 2
Snowbird: Two hour wait to be seated at a table?! Back in Michigan, a table wouldve been ready for me , my wife Mable, and my 9 grandchilden already.
All the Floridians in the restaurant:
...then go back to Michigan...
