To think the seagulls should have shut up by now?

[Cumberlover76]

It's twenty to 11 ffs! They are still making a noise, I fucking hate seagulls, noisy, messy bastards! Can't wait to move further inland. I know there are other noisy birds, but I've had nearly 20 years of seagulls!

I love the sound of seagulls, it means we are getting close to the sea, which means the start of of our holiday, hoorah

When we first moved here, every morning I'd be all "oh my god, seagulls !!!!!"

The novelty soon wore off, now I just think they're gobshites

Horrible noisy creatures. The babies are still small so the noise will only get worse.

Yes they are beautiful to look at... On a seaside cliff or an island. It's the pits to have them on your roof, their stomping is so loud, the shrieking at night or early in the morning is deafening.

And I wouldn't call the babies beautiful by any stretch of the imagination. Are we talking about the same birds? I used to have them squeaking in my garden when they fell off the roof where they nested (why is there always one that falls?). Lord they are unattractive you can tell I love seagulls

So Yanbu!

Oh thank god, our yearly 'aren't seagulls and pigeons big feathery, shitting bastards' thread. I've been chomping at the bit for weeks to moan about our pigeons again.

Turds the size of dog shit all over the lawn. Toddler comes in with it all over his feet and arse (if he happens to sit down). I have to poo pick the bloody lawn and I don't even have dogs. They make noise through the night, stomp all over the roof wearing hobnail boots and have their favourite places to take a dump over the patio and sides of the house too.

Fuck off you fucking fuckers. If I had access to room 101 I would happily shoehorn the whole bloody lot of them in there and leave wasps out as they don't seem to give me any trouble.

I grew up on the coast and they used to nest on our roof and dive bomb us when they had chicks if we had the temerity to want to get in or out of our house and would wake my parents very early. My dad is the most mild mannered person I know and even he accelerated towards one in the car once, then bottled it and breaked at the last minute.

Lozy, exactly, its a holiday noise isnt it,and its like a privilege to have seagulls cos it means living by the sea (generally)! Ive always loved them and love them walking on my roof. All the birds are up at 4am these days anyway, such bird racism here!

Seagulls ruin any day at the seaside. They are always on the look out for someones fish and chips or ice cream.

ah thats because they are so clever and have excellent taste! chips and icecream are delicious!

I feel your pain! Our last seaside holiday they were none stop all day and night! Except for, I don think I was imagining it, twice a day for about 15 mins. Otherwise it was constant!

No mrsspooky it's because they are beady eyed little shits.

I may be bitter because I have lost quite a few seaside treats to them

Seagulls are fuckers. You can't feed the ducks and swans at our local park without being invaded by a million of the bloody pests. One even stole my Gregg's pizza slice out of my hand.

Reignbeau! Don't mess with the Greggs!

What makes me laugh every time I see it is, we have these swanky 'lifestyle apartments' along our seafront with these huge stone owls on the roof to scare the seagulls away. There's always one or two cocky little fuckers sitting on the owls.

They have no respect - stone owls, toddlers' ice reams, my fecking chips, squawking at 1am - it's all fair game

Actually, I can't hear them at the moment, maybe I should go out with an air horn. See how they like it

I'm in the Midlands and we get them up here, so no escape for those looking to move away from the coast to avoid them I'm afraid. I've seen them following tractors poughing fields, in rubbish dumps, and on canals. They're everywhere because they're opportunist. Thankfully they seem better behaved than the seaside variety and only chat at reasonable hours and don't try and snatch your pasty.

The seagulls in Glasgow are in fine voice these days. I did see a guy shouting at one the other day, I believe his exact words were 'fuck off you fucking cunt'.

The seagull was nonplussed.

"Actually, I can't hear them at the moment, maybe I should go out with an air horn. See how they like it"

what time do seagulls sleep I wonder? Aww, saying that I have an urge to go to the beach with a slingshot and catapult food into the air to feed the gulls now. That would be pretty spectacular I reckon. They're a PITA at times but I still love them.

"The seagulls in Glasgow are in fine voice these days. I did see a guy shouting at one the other day, I believe his exact words were 'fuck off you fucking cunt'."

"The seagull was nonplussed."

Oh god, this is better than TV

I think I may have shouted similar things WhatALoadOfOldBollocks! The push my patience to the limit at times. I know it's our fault for living by the sea with food and rubbish and they are cunning bastards! They don't bother me in rural seaside areas, its just the townies!

Squoosh I can Completely picture that scene. On lunch break in Glasgow there's many of us jumping for cover or else swinging handbags over our heads while shouting obscenities

I love them more since my mil was having a strop on the beach about her sandwich order being wrong and at that moment a seagull swooped down and stole her sandwich. Her look was priceless

I suspect that one day us humans will be mere slaves to our seagull rulers.
