Oddly enough I am toying with the idea of anti-seagull spikes along my ridgeline to keep the flying shit bombers away...

I have pigeons in my roof. They drive my dogs mad.

Seagulls would get pelted with something if they went near my dogs.

A few years back when I lived on the coast a baby herring gull fell down the chimney and cove_ed the living room with soot I was not a happy teddy bear!

You can buy fake birds off the internet to scare them away

I bought a lifelike life size fake owl once and the pigeons never returned

I went out to shoo them away outside my chalet in Wales as it was 1am and they were driving me nuts not realising one of them was a baby one. The mum or dad dived and got me right on the head. Don't know if it was it's claws or it's beak but it stunned me. Head was in a mess n blood everywhere.

I would stay indoors or buy a massive umbrella x

As a kid on holiday, my uncle and his family were usually in the next door caravan. He would be up at about 5 or 6 every morning and throw scraps onto our caravan roof so the seagulls would wake us slugabeds up. He didn't let on about that till years later.

Had seagulls nesting nesting at the back of my chimney once. There was a right commotion going on outside, when I looked out of the Velux I noticed one of the babies had slid down the roof and was crying in the gutter, the parents were apoplectic. I got a good (and trusted) friend to hold onto my ankles while i crawled out of the window but couldn't quite reach it so lowe_ed an old crochet blanket down to it. It pecked at it and finally got tangled in it enough for me to be able to pull it up, my mate then pulled me back in through the window. I then had to climb out of the back part of the window and using a technical drawing "T"square to stop it sliding back down the roof and to give it a boost managed to push it back up to the chimney to it's nest. Never before has such a random act of kindness been so under appreciated! Never before, or since, have I been cove_ed in so much shit! They are like a flying industrial scale shit factory.

It's tempting to think if ever the situation occurs again, I'll just push the fucker out of the gutter but I know I wont. I'd be just as aggressive if I was protecting my children.

When I was on holiday at Mousehole in Cornwall, the owner of the B&B we were stopping in came into the breakfast room one morning armed with an air rifle. He used to fire pellets near, not directly at, any seagulls that were congregating on his mate's roof, his mate reciprocated and they had 2 of the cleanest roofs in the village

My next door neighbour feeds the birds and puts bread out. About a week ago there were about 30 seagulls swooping overhead in my garden and a few neighbouring ones, it was a bit scary. XXX
