Bloody seagulls.....

[Smiffy]

Fed up with being woken up early by the poxy seasgulls strutting around my roof again this morning, I decided to get up and feed them.
Threw some big chunks of last nights coriander naan bread out into the garden for them.
To give them a real "taste of India" I also filled up the hollow bits of bread with the hottest mustard I could find.
I'm having a great time watching the results

Have you been reading 'The Lighthousekeepers Lunch' again....my kids love that story.

Having lived in Brighton previously, i know how annoying they can be - scavengers and bloody noisy, especially in mating season

Used to live in ardglass in northern Ireland. We had a bungalow, but it was stupidly long, like someone had taken the top floor and stuck it on the end of the ground floor. Used to get massive sea gulls landing at one end, and then running down the roof to the other. Every morning, I'd wake up to this racket of bom, bom, bom, bom over head. Poxy things.

When i worked in Jersey, they were a nightmare. They seem to have no fear and they are big barstewards as well.

Try eating fish and chips alfresco in St Ives - it's like the Battle of Britain

Smiffy, have you not considered what happens when they crap mustard all over your windows? You won't be golfing at the weekend fella, the missus will have you up a ladder with a sponge out!

Inspirational idea though, and i'm going to see how the local pigeons enjoy con carne!

It'll take the paint off your car too.

Mmmmmm Smiffy ... Seagulls are protected birds under the law arn't they?


However I'm in Folkestone and my car windscreen is so white it looks like someones draped a sheet over it - what brand of mustard do your recommend?

All seagulls were Matelots in a past life, be gentle with them.
Were you a crab then?

Fortunatly a neighbour lets me borrow his Air Rifle occasionally

We've a similar problem first thing with magpies on the roof. Bloody noisy things. Give me the wifes snoring any time compared to their racket from 5.00am

We have the joy of a protected Herring gull colony in this area. After eating off the local songbird population, they now make do with fish and chip paper, pie crusts and the odd pavement pizza. There is a nesting pair on the flat roof of next doors garage that squawk whenever the skanky cat from over the road runs along the adjacent wall. Perfect scenario would be for the cat to choke on the recently arrived chick.

that brings back memories, feeding seagulls on the Palace Pier, to stop them nicking our bait usually.

we soaked bread in a baking powder/sugar solution, then let it dry. next time it got wet . . .
