2 Days in a row I've been attacked by a...

[Bensonrad]

..Seagull! scared the hell out of me, I was running to the train station along the same residential road in Seaford about 6.30am and this seagull followed me from roof top to roof top scretching at and causing loads of fuss, about half way down the road it dive bombed me, that I actually had to drop to the ground. I imagine my shout of the F word woke up a few people. I then carried on running to the station and it followed me about another 3 or 4 houses then stopped.

Today I crossed over the road and it started stalking me again this time coming right across the other side of the road and again dive bombing me! It squaked so much loads of other started coming out of gardens and on other roof tops and started circling in the sky above me. I pegged it as fast as I could. Really was quite scary, they are not small birds! Was like something out of Hitchcock. I can only imagine there must be a baby in a nest somewhere down that road! Not sure why there were picking on me though and not the guy walking his dog!

Have heard a few stories like that of particular seagulls that 'go rogue' and become super aggressive.

On Poole Quay the B.F.O. herring gulls are fairly uncouth creatures at the best of times, they make a horrendous din and are always nicking people's chips/ice cream etc.

People call pigeons 'vermin' or 'flying rats' , but herring gulls are ten times worse, IMO!

Two words: air rifle

Three more words: Armed Response Vehicle

Seagulls & Magpies are right buggers.

I am not kidding, I found it pretty scary with it swooping right down from high upon me. With all the noise and more gulls coming to its back up freaked me out a bit. I will keep a watchful eye on my walk back tonight.

In Brighton they certainly swoop down and steal food from peoples hands, but not seen one attack before.

seagulls are nasty f**kers .

do this wrap some bicarb of soda up in a ball off easily swolled sized bread , gull will eat and then explode

job done ha ha

as : Birds do not have the capability to pass gas. They cannot burp or fart.
When fed something that expands, as alka seltzer does, the gases that
build up have no place to escape to. Once the stomach is full to
popping, that is exactly what it does. It explodes inside the birds
body. In Nottingham , I believe, it is illegal to throw rice at wedding outside
because the pigeons (the thousands of them) will swoop down to eat the
free food. Rice, when mixed with stomach acids or even just water,
expand. It causes nottingham to have a huge mess of dead pigeons to clean up. I
have not ever tried it personally, but there are the facts behind the
myth which I would consider a true story. They do not visually blow up
as a stick of dynamite makes things blow up, but they do blow up inside
and do, indeed, die. Anything that expands will kill a bird.

Hope this helps

The bastard was waiting again on the way home! despite someone cutting their hedge making loads of noise and cars driving by, it started squarking and going crazy again and circling in the sky, it dropped a few times at me, but not to the extent of the other two occasions where it really did go for me.

This morning I made sure I walked on the otherside of the road, it ignored another person and spotted me and started flying round again going mad, thankfully no drop downs on me though, but it did follow me 2 thirds down the road. I have no idea why it is targetting me, I've worn different clothes each day, and tried not to run today. It bullying me!

Some vet nurse friends of mine were telling me recently that some species of birds recognise people and have been known to watch for and single out individuals.

The had a guy found a crow with a broken wing, he brought it into the practise where they tended to it til it healed, then released it. Now it attacks the guy who brought it in all the time, they reckon it attributes him with pain!

Funnily enough, if he wears a hat then that fools it and it leaves him be.

Seagulls are just thugs though as everyone says above.

I remember on holiday one year

There was probably millions of ladybirds flying about, whole clouds of them and one bit my brothers arm
