Bin day around here is a nightmare because of the number of fatties with overfilled bins. The seagulls bite the bags open and drag food, cans, sanitary products etc EVERYWHERE.

| 66. Author: parsfan Date: Fri 4th Aug 2023. 16:34 Milos Drizzle, Thu 3 Aug 18:42 I was in Newfoundland years ago and was down by a pond with my nephew, someone suggested feeding the swans dandelion leaves. I was sceptical but they were mad for it. Fast forward 10 years and I tried it with my own kids and Scottish swans. Being birds they have fairly expressionless faces, but I got an unmistakable "fück off with your dandelions" look off of them, "gie us bread, crisps and chips". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Post Edited (Fri 04 Aug 17:51) Reply |

| 68. Author: OzPar Date: Fri 4th Aug 2023. 22:51 It is funny that you should mention Newfoundland, parsfan, for I saw an extraordinary thing there too. In a small coastal town called Holyrood, the local seagulls team up with sparrow hawks to herd storm petrels, known locally as Carey Chickens, into tight groups. They then pounce on the small birds killing them by the dozen. It is not a pretty sight, but it is a very dark side to seagulls that I`ve never witnessed elsewhere. Reply |
| 69. Author: P Date: Sat 5th Aug 2023. 22:03 I golf at St Andrews often and the birds regularly go into my bag and steal my porridge bars. I’ve caught them at it, chased them away and gone back later to find bar gone as they wait until you are putting. Today I saw one unzip my bag, grab the bar and hop off with it - I’ve no idea how they get the wrapper off but they have zero interest in multipack mars bars so that will be the way forward now.

| 70. Author: GG Riva Date: Tue 15th Aug 2023. 08:33 Do seagulls never sleep? I was woken at 3.30 this morning by their loud squawking on my and neighbouring roofs. It was still dark. I may have to borrow an air rifle..... 🤔  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |

| 77. Author: GG Riva Date: Fri 18th Aug 2023. 06:42 QPR_Par, Thu 17 Aug 13:53 That`s quite an eye-opener, Oz. Thanks for sharing it. Since starting this thread, I`ve discovered that the reason I was repeatedly menaced by gulls was that they were nesting on a my next door neighbours roof. It`s not flat, but they have solar panels, which has allowed a pair of gulls to nest on the higher edge. Yesterday, I noticed a pair of gulls behaving in amorous fashion on the same spot. Do they produce a second batch of chicks each year? I know that pigeons, the other bane of my life, often nest in spring and late summer, when food is plentiful. 😞 Not your average Sunday League player. Post Edited (Fri 18 Aug 06:43) Reply |
| 78. Author: buffy Date: Fri 18th Aug 2023. 09:47 We have amorous pigeons on the tree in the back garden. Every day some poor wummin has to endure flappin o wings and stomping o feet.

| 80. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 28th Aug 2024. 16:38 On getting back from holiday, I could have been forgiven for thinking that the Forth coastline had moved a few miles north, such is the sheer number of herring gulls that are now squatting on my roof and those of my neighbours. And they`re right noisy with it - at any time of the day or night. I can`t even attribute the increase to the chicks that hatched earlier this year, since they are still in their brown, speckled plumage and there`s not many of them about - one less as of yesterday when it ended up under a neighbour`s car. I almost felt sorry for it. Can we not get an ASBOS order on these pests? Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
