It's like a scene out of The Birds round here right now - and the noise!
The Council put all sorts of stuff on the roof of the police station round the corner to stop gulls nesting a few years back so now they nest on our roofs and attack people. We have to pay a company to come and remove the nests and put up those wee spiky things to stop them landing. Of course we pay: this is East Ren - nothing is free here!
The workmen came yesterday and did their stuff, getting attacked as they worked. But today I spotted a well grown chick on the ground, and a small flock of adults flying around it. And I know we're in trouble!
Of course, the gulls don't realise these are buildings with people living in them - they think this is a cliff face, their usual habitat. Of course, they like being here because there are 14 restaurants and 9 takeaways just round the corner and there's always food lying about.
But I HATE GULLS!
Remember the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds. They will surely return for pay back especially when defending their young. That's life.
