andy-y Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The way they swooped into the stands after the match to munch the leftovers was crazy. They have no fear. I'd say get a couple of them shot while thier pals look on May do the trick at tynie. Flying rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sifter Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Sure someone mentioned that the increase is down to the council no longer air gunning the gulls eggs, hence the explosion in their numbers. So basically council cutbacks have led to more of these ******* gulls knocking about. Another thing to blame the trams for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canada Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The trams are just as noisy! Hate gulls as well. We painted the wall in our garden two weeks ago and the paint was barely dry before it got shat on. Made a right mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pans Jambo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Had a romantic picnic wi the mrs about 10 years or so ago in the lake district. Game wee feckerz raped ma grub. One of em took a full chicken leg and swallowed it hole! Clean doon the thrapple! Wouldnt want to be on the receiving end of that when it came oot the other end!!! Horrible creatures but the truth is, if humans didnt give them opportunities to find easy food, they would not be in town centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I kinda like them... Here's some wee things about them, I find interesting: There's no such thing as a seagull. The two that we most commonly refer to as this, are herring gulls, and lesser black back gulls. Same size and virtually the same behaviour, but herring gulls have a grey back when they fold their wings, black backs... Well... Black. Also herring gulls have pink legs and feet, black backs yellow. Greater black back gulls can swallow puffins whole. Kelp gulls can take on and kill prey the size of geese.

It's out there every morning when I leave for work and every night when I get home. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk That's a lesser black-backed gull. It's probably nesting on a spot nearby. They see buildings as cliff tops and use them as places to raise chicks. If it's got a chick, it'll almost certainly mob you if you get too close. I took a dull one on Inchcolm Island once.

bertracoon Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Absolute b4st4rds. Work colleague of mine was attacked out the back of my work as he surprised one going through the bins. I nearly ran one over today in a car park as it just stared me down in the car and wouldn't move. Really should have just run the ***** over. And 4 of us got chased on Inchcolm Island a couple of months ago. Proper scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBE Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 These flying rats are protected because they are migratory. ****ing arsehole of the bird species. From 3:30 am until dusk they squak, squeal, shit and swoop at every passer-bye who dare walk the pavement below their lofty nest in the chimney stack. I feel for the pensioner who informed the council when he discovered a pair of Gulls building a nest. 6 weeks lapsed before the lazy *******s inspected the alleged nest. They confirmed, they couldn't destroy the nest because it was completed, how the **** do they know if it's completed, was there a completion certificate flying from the highest twig? 3 chicks hatched, the runt got devoured by the bigger two, one fell from the roof and broke it's neck (unlucky, lovely neighbouring cats had a banquet) The remaining chick is now as big as it's dad. Saw a sparrow hawk sat in our silver birch the other day, fingers crossed eh? Cull the ****'s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunks Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I few years ago in Gala, a young lad was walking down the High Street trying to eat a bag of chips, but he was being swarmed by the gulls. In an attempt to be rid of them, he threw his poke of chips into the middle of the road. As you can imagine, all the gulls went for the chips - must have been 20 of them. The oncoming van driver showed no mercy - absolute bloody carnage as a result. Was really grim, yet strangely satisfying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I think their numbers may make them more confident. Some go about their business calmly but others seem more assertive. Maybe it isn't so much a problem as it seems. Until say a baby is attacked or something. Anyway the Council has a small window to do something. Otherwise people will start to take action. Poisoned pellets are the way I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
