Baby seagull trying to enter house

Came home to find a massive "baby" seagull standing on my doorstep trying to enter my house. Of course the door was closed so it could not get it but it did not stop it trying. I finally managed to get it to go away by pointing at it to go down the steps. It was very tame and not scared of humans at all. It eventually wandered off and moments later bumped into the neighbours small kitten. The kitten seemed freaked out by the gull and ran away. Usually the gulls dive at me if there are babies around but the parents of this one were either not in sight or not bothered.

    I once bought fish and chips, from Rick Steins chip shop in padstow, it cost me something ridiculous like £13 but man it was good.
    Anyway, I'm walking down the street, all of a sudden THWACK a seagull smashes me in the back of the head. I drop my fish and chips and about 20 seagulls swooped in to eat it all.
    I hope they all died a painful death afterwards, because I did not have another £13 to spend on chips and so ended up having a bag of monster munch and a pint of beer for dinner. **** that day. And every last one of them.

    If it was a big baby then you might find that baby is out on his/her own now. I feed the gulls at the bottom of my garden. There seem to be quite a few very young ones with feet disabilities this year. :(

    I got dive-bombed by seagulls on Barmouth beach when I was about 7 and eating a sandwich. I've had a fear of them ever since.

    God that sounds awful I remember how pissed off I was when I dropped my Greggs sausage roll and a seagill swooped down and ate it. I'd be livid if one ate my £13 fish supper.

    I was once attacked by a seagull and am wary of them ever since.

    Lol sorry Frankie, didn't mean to laugh. Must put up a photo of my gulls being hand fed. Even the wee ones wait patiently and like being hand fed.

    Yes I do, the sea bashes off my garden wall. Which is why I feed the gulls as I live in "their" territory. We have a great relationship I feed them and they don't mess on our car or my washing or even my windows. :):) All good.

    Once had a pet budgie and he kept flying into the patio doors. Was funny at the time. Miss him. :(

    Ah, so lucky! I'd love to live by the sea. Seagulls and all. I could grow to like them...I think. I might need therapy first though. :D

    Is that how he died? Head-butting the patio doors?

    I once saw four men sat on a bench on the prom with a Gregg's carrier bag - presumably full of pies - between them on the bench getting ambushed by three seagulls working as a team.
    Two of the gulls divebombed the men to scatter them and the third seagull picked up the carrier bag and flew off with it.
    It was highly comical to see, but I bet it was bloody scary if you were one of the people on the receiving end of a seagull in full plummet mode.

    No, old age. Fell off his perch. :(

    Aw. RIP budgie. He's over at Rainbow Bridge now, head-butting patio doors to his heart's content.

    (I've read the Pets Forum, I know this to be true)

    Stop feeding them thalidomide.

    I don't feed them, which is why they gather in huge groups to shit on my car I expect.:blush:

    My grandmother once whacked a seagull with her walking stick on the prom in Aberystwyth.

    It had attempted to get at a paste & cucumber sandwich.

    There was one wandering around my street with a broken wing. I saw some kids throwing stones at the poor sod so I caught it in a cat carrier and put it in my shed. I gave it some bread soaked in milk, it seems really hungry. There's not really much I can do for it, I'll call the SPCA but I know the outcome won't be good. :(

    Any 'chics' that stumble into my garden get shot and the same with any adults that try to nest on my roof.

    I've done that ever since they attacked my kids when they were toddlers playing in the garden.

    They are a nightmare in Padstow, Steins chips are shite, the one next to the harbour are better. I've been there loads of times and tried Steins fish and chips, the seagulls were welcome to them, they even like Pasties:)

    I used to live in Dunbar and the house opposite allways had a shitehawks nest next to the chimney. It was a bugger to sleep on dayshift as the chicks started screetching at dawn.

    I hated the bloody things.
