There's a gang keeping me prisoner in my own house.

[ScaredGul]

I get attacked every time I try and leave. Their parents are worse than they are and have even tried to attack my dog, and my children just for going in our own garden. They don't even let me sleep, and wake my baby up at 4am being loud thugs. Should I call the police?

I managed to get a photo of the yobs for evidence.

Its seagulls, isn't it.

Such inconsiderate arseholes. Does anyone have a hawk you can borrow?

Actually those are cute!

I was in london yesterday and saw some that were gigantic. What's going on !

That’s terrible behaviour but they are SO handsome!

They are thugs OP. Don't try going outside whilst eating. They'll snatch it from you. Nasty twats

Full sympathy, I had this a couple of years ago. Small victoriana terraced houses, front and back gardens to get through and every other house had a nest on the roof. The little gits kept falling into gardens and god forbid you try get them out of your garden!

Utter utter bastards!

They used to have professional riflemen shoot the eggs, naive 18 year old me used to feel injustice, 19 year old me working on a caravan site where the gulls used my roof as a runway thought very differently!

We used to keep a broom by the front door and run the gauntlet while brandishing it.

Wait til they sing the song of their people down your chimney at dawn Op and get back to me 🤕😭

If I dare step outside I get swooped at by two huge angry mum gulls! I've had to stop parking the car on the drive because they swooped my kids when they were getting in! Terrorists!!

They are hooligans. And they are SO LOUD

Super soaker?

Have you got a Bluetooth speaker op? I played vulture sounds to a seagull on our roof!! It did indeed buggar off!

Hose pipe!

Umbrella, obviously a fairly strong one up at all times when outside.

They are government drones. Seems like a fair few, have you been lax with COVID restrictions?

@Biscusting 🤣🤣

I've put Alexa through the cat flap and I'm playing vulture noises. I'll report back.

Apparently these www.etsy.com/uk/market/metal_hawkare quite effective.

Ha ha!!

It's magpies here, they are such noisy horrible sods!

Aren’t they just. Idled away nearly an hour sitting watching gulls taking shellfish from the rocks at the beach. In their natural surroundings, doing what they’re designed to do, they’re spectacular.
Not quite so keen when they nest on our extension roof and divebomb us every time we dare venture into the garden. The cats are terrified 🤣

I saved one once. That had been abandoned by its parents (or so I thought). It was in our front garden looking very lost so I put it on our garage roof in a cat carrier for shelter 😬. I climbed up there every day to feed it pilchards and cat food. Then I noticed that the cute baby I had rescued and quadrupled in size within a nanosecond and had mum and dad in tow 🙈. And that I couldn't go into our back yard at all without being attacked.

You live and learn. Never again. And we moved from the coast 😂😂😂
