seagulls are the petty thiefs of the criminal bird underworld.

[Tortington]

...........and magpies are the mafia

Owls are night time ravers.

And woodpeckers reach the parts that other birds can't reach on the fat ball.

then there's the artful wren - pick pocketing oh so gently and making orf with your wallet.

Seagulls are not birds - they are pig-rats of the sky

Pigeons plot in secrecy.

Agreed. Seagulls are assassins of the sky.

I live in Cornwall. I know.

What is on the rook's agenda, skulking sinisterly and peering into windows?

wood pigeons are sex maniacs

I once saw a seagull eating a pigeon

You can now be fined up to £2500 for feeding the seagulls at Aldeburgh.......

ello SoMuch

I used to sneak chips into my mate's hood by the seaside and watch the pigeons swoop and attack her

It took her weeks to realise why she'd be walking along the seafront and would suddenly become under attack from random pigeons

Seagulls...not fecking pigeons!

Gosh, getting your chips nicked in St Ives could be a good source of revenue for the council!

When we first moved to our new town which is close to a Great Lake, on the first rubbish day I gamely put our bags out to the kerb and the jeffing seagulls came and ripped them to shreds and spread the rubbish all over the driveway and garden and street. I had to go out to pick it all up and the bloody things were dive bombing me with rage! Now the rubbish gets put out inside a big plastic seagull-proof bin.

Pigeons are goths in disguse

Last time I went to St Ives it was impossible to walk along the seafront with any sort of foodstuff without being dive-bombed by seagulls. And one of the buggers shat on me............

"You can now be fined up to £2500 for feeding the seagulls at Aldeburgh......."

You're kidding? But throwing chips up into the air and watching seagulls swoop to catch them as they fly up is fun! Goddamn spoilsports Aldebrugh Council, they must be related to Ken Livingstone!

Actually they are my local football team. Seeeaaaaa-guuullllls!

I am not joking at all - it is a recent thing though, has only happened in the last couple of years.

Seagulls are cunning and evil...I was viciously attacked last year in St.Ives, peacefully sitting on the front with DS2 & DF...all of a sudden from behind a seagull swooped down and STOLE my sandwich out of my hands ...I saw the same seagull with it's gang terrorising a group of teenagers...DF questions my judgement that it was the same seagull...down with all seagulls

no chips for Aldeburgh seagulls.

Worra

There is an easy way to have fun getting rid of seagulls, which anyone who grew up by the coast knows...

Can anyone tell me why we salute magpies?
There is a nest outside my bedroom window and I am driving myself saying good morning to a sodding magpie before i have even had my first coffee of the day?
Am not even normally superstitious so please help me.

Does it involve bread and bicarbonate of soda?!
