Regal Kingston Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Is it just me or are there considerably more gulls this year? They wake me up with their squaking at 4 in the morning and never stop Time for a cull? Seagulls and pollen are the scum of summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel the same as you, they seem to be everywhere this year and the constant squawking is a nightmare. They are nesting on the roof of the block of flats where I stay and some fecking arse is feeding them!! I hate seagulls with a passion!!

They were all having a feeding frenzy outside my flat the other day. Must have been about 20 of them. My neighbour and I exchanged cornettes and he made a comment about it being like a Hitchcock film up in this mofo. Def time for a cull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Just been sitting at the benches outside Whitefoord House at the bottom of the Canongate, and they were an absolute nuisance. The entire 45 mins I was sat there they circled about squawking and trying to land on the pavement to eat the slightest little thing. Nothing really new to that area though. 20 years ago when i stayed in the Canongate they lived on the old New Street bus garage roof. Nesting time was an absolute nightmare taking the buckets down to the backgreen or going to a car. The wee ones would land in the backgreen and greet their eyes out, while the adults circled round going batshit crazy and swooping down on anyone who went near. I'm all in for a cull.

cuthy2k Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) try living with them every day! Got 6 of the feckers babies on my tenament roof. If I had a crossbow it would be easy pickings as they have barely learnt to stand yet never mind fly. Always pleasing when you end up with a seagull corpse on the road up here. Unwritten rule that you swerve 'just to make sure it is deid'. Eating my lunch in the back garden today and had the babies and the parents all eyeing up my rolls. I felt victimised.

They constantly fly off with the carcasses of pigeons that have been squished under the bridge at Holyrood Palace. On one occasion they fought over it mid-air which resulted in it being dropped from 50ft and splatting about 10ft in front of me. That would have made my day, pigeon blood, guts and feathers dropping onto my napper on the way to work.

OmiyaHearts Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I got attacked by one when I got off the train at Wemyss Bay, the bugger shat on me as well.

Yesterday morning I got myself out to the garden nice and early with a coffee and a good book to get some serious relaxing done only to find about a dozen of the feckers circling above and making the most incredible racket. Went on for about half an hour before they cleared off to make someone else's life a misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Believer Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I like them. They're hard as nails as birds go. Will attack a full grown human and as far as I can tell like shitting on people then laughing about it (which is probably what I would do if I was a bird). I like crows too. I like how they either walk or fly normally, but if you approach them at the perfect speed they kind of hop away from you, always makes me smile.

Jamhammer Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I keep a couple of chickens in me back garden and anytime I put stuff out for em to eat the feckin gulls appear from nowhere. I'm nowhere near the sea. It's probably karma paying me back for dropping breeze blocks on em from the top floor of a building site in the Welsh hills when I was a daft laddie. One of our plasterers used to give em bread with something in it and they would kinda blow up as they flew away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
