I also don't like Brighton much.

It's a new phenomenon?
No, but this year seems worse more of them, louder, more stuck up etc

All the rest I'd like to cull.
And that feeding can attract rats.Quote:

I feel sorry for the neighbours too the right who have bird shirt everywhere because of feeding and they have kids etc. I've started to shoot them with my https://bbguns4less.co.uk/.
If that fails poison the buggers..
Its not right if your rights are infringed and have this noisy dirty problem.
Correct:thumbup:Quote:

I live near the coast and they are a right pain on black bag day, especially as we aren’t allowed wheelie bins in the vale, so black bags ripped up every 3 weeks.
Spray them with vinegar (the bags, not the gulls)Quote:

One company I worked for had a huge problem with seagulls.
They hired someone who came along with a Saker falcon.
As much as a nuisance the gulls were, I didn't relish the idea of one picking apart a screeching gull.
Well it never did. In fact, the seagulls used to just climb to extraordinary heights, circle around and they knew that they were safe as long as they stayed above the falcon.
One of these falcons flew off and never returned to its handler (apparently they're migratory).

I think the herring gulls are the real big bast*rds, few other types of gull aswell, they all seem to hang around together if I remember rightlyQuote:
