Well gulls are vermin,around here for the last two days has been rubbish collection,and the gulls have been at work,the noise and the mess because we are on the coast is crazy,I suppose we have people who waste food,I know we do not,what we cook or buy we eat,my sons family waste vast amounts and of course a Gull can smell that food and around here we just have black plastic sacks,the Gulls seem out of control indeed there is nothing in place to control them,of course the bird loving lobby is a vast one,they cannot accept that Gulls need some control and so the noise and mess will continue I suppose.
