Steppenpig Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Funnily enough, my mum stopped putting food out for the birdies about a year ago, because the gulls were getting so aggressive. They used to bang on the window demanding to be fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTMark Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It wasn't so long ago that a town in Holland was on alert for a rogue owl attacking people. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/14/eagle-owl-caught-dutch-town-attacks-purmerend-netherlands Magnificent creature. Even blackbirds are smart. If I throw fruit out into the garden for them, they spot it, then they raise an alarm call to send all the other birds into hiding. Then they pick up the fruit for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigantic Purple Slug Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Vote leave to rid Britain of the seagull menace. I notice in that article they said it was well behaved. Probably due to the fact it spent the last hour stuffing itself with prime chicken tikka massala. No wonder it could hardly move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Bear Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I quite like seagulls, even the noise they make. Goes back to childhood I suppose and the excitement of arriving at the seaside on hols. However have just remembered a horrible thing on some wildlife prog. - Chris Packham commenting with evident relish while a herring gull perched on a roof at dusk, and picked off as they came out in search of their dinner about a dozen tiny bats. It was quick as a flash each time, blink and each one was gone down its throat. I can't stand Chris Packham. I know it's 'Nature red in tooth and claw', and all that, but he seems to dwell on any such thing and take a sadistic delight in seeing anything get eaten.
