| 1. Author: GG Riva Date: Sat 20th May 2023. 12:15 I hate the blighters and it seems the feeling is mutual. Not content with squawking and strutting around on my roof at 4 am, they enjoy a good crap. I`m convinced they target my car both in my drive and when I`m out. After a visit to Halbeath ASDA this morning, I got back to my car to find about a kilo - no exaggeration - of seagull crap all over it. I had to get the hose on it when I got back to get the worst of it off. It seems to contain a good dod of superglue an aw. The hose couldn`t shift it all without the help of a hard brush. I wouldn`t mind shooting a few but I`m told it`s a criminal offence. 🙁  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |

| 6. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 20th May 2023. 17:59 Seagulls and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect? And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 7. Author: General Zod Date: Sat 20th May 2023. 20:57 I hate seagulls. I don’t understand why we aren’t allowed to kill them. They are aggressive and they are a nuisance. They’ve swooped at me in the street and they’ve gone for kids playing too. The noise they make at stupid o clock in the morning is outrageous. I’m constantly washing crap off my car and kids trampoline or decking in my garden. I hate cruelty to animals but the moment they start following me to my car swooping at me then that’s proper fighting talk, likesay. Catapult and marbles are at the ready. Reply |

| 12. Author: Ghoulz Date: Sun 21st May 2023. 10:21 I`m no lover of seagulls` aggressive behavior either but their local presence is largely due to humans attracting them to local food sources that WE create. Seagulls spend a large proportion of their time sourcing food and eating it and we provide much of that source by our reckless behavior including: Sending compostable food waste to landfill by failing to use the correct bin. Discarding partially eaten fast food on the streets. Actively feeding them in domestic gardens. On the upside of them eating landfilled food waste ... they actually do us all a favour as Seagulls are omnivores and will will eat pretty much anything, which helps to reduce methane (which is a huge contributor to climate change) and other toxic gasses like ammonia being released into the atmosphere. Yeah EVEN wasps have a place ... it`s us causing the imbalance that`s screwing everything up not the seagulls. Your friendly neighbourhood Ghoulz.

| 13. Author: GG Riva Date: Sun 21st May 2023. 10:43 Ghoulz, Sun 21 May 10:21 Are you implying that seagulls don`t fart, Ghoulz? 🤔 I`d put it you that the release of methane is merely delayed rather than reduced when seagulls eat decomposing foods. 🙂 Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 14. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Sun 21st May 2023. 11:42 I’m detecting a pattern here. GG started a thread about Wood Pigeons, and now he’s moved on to Seagulls. Maybe his username should be changed to ‘Tippi Hedren’ 😆 Reply |
| 15. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sun 21st May 2023. 13:31 Our local seagull population must suffer acute depression when the schools holidays come around - no more discarded half empty crisp bags or dropped food leftovers for them to swoop on. Reply |
| 16. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Sun 21st May 2023. 13:50 Distinct lack of seagulls out here in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, maybe they ain`t on their holidays yet! Coincidentally on this great oil producing island petrol is £1.00 per litre. 😲😎 Reply |
| 17. Author: GG Riva Date: Sun 21st May 2023. 14:44 veteraneastender, Sun 21 May 13:31 Funny you should say that, VEE. I swear that seagulls have a built in quartz clock. How else can you explain that they arrived en masse, some 10 mins before morning break and again 10 mins before lunch, at my old school? They would congregate on the roof of the technical block and start to circle as soon as the kids came out. And there`s more. I remember one day when there was a complete pea souper of a fog. No way will they find their way up here today, I thought. I was wrong. They were there in huge numbers, so they must be equipped with the latest radar, as well..... 😨 Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |

| 19. Author: Ghoulz Date: Sun 21st May 2023. 19:24 Exactly that GG! Generally, birds don`t fart; they lack the stomach bacteria in their intestines that generates gasses such as the greenhouse methane that would otherwise originate from food waste rotting in landfill.
