There was a spirited response of our Facebook page to a question about gulls and people who feed them.
Mogie Gallagher fumed: ‘People should be charged for feeding the gulls. The gulls become confident and come and steal from people’s hands. What happens when they attack a child to get the food out of their hands and seriously injure that child. Rats with wings! They are perfectly able to find food for themselves without people feeding them. It just makes my blood boil.’
Kerry Crawford posted: ‘Well said Mogie – they are the NEDS of the bird world and should not be encouraged.’
