Between the seagulls and the computer games and the fraping, it's simply a miracle that we haven't all become cannibals or something.

One theory that I think holds up is that Ireland's landfills are being much better managed and many are being capped and closed.

They provided gulls with a lot of food for decades. That's suddenly gone so, it's quite possible they're driving closer to urban areas to scavenge now.

Members of the Seanad should also refrain from carrying fish as a health and safety precaution.

Saw that headline on my Facebook feed, I honestly thought it was from Waterford Whispers, not the Irish Times!

Ironically its overfishing that has driven gulls inland.

If said member of the Seanad would protect our fish stocks we woudnt have this problem - but then again thats beyond him and we just have stupid comments.

I think hes dead right.

I bought a burger in Burger King Grafton Street one evening and I was wandering down Grafton Street eating it when suddenly a seagull swooped in and nabbed the rest right out of my hand.

In some UK Cities they are fining people for feeding Seagulls and Pigeons. We need that in Dublin.

But, but,.... i thought they are only interested in trawlers?!?!

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.

Apparently Seagulls can't 'pass gas'. So a bit of 'bicarbonate of soda' on a piece of bread. They swoop, they scoff, they take off then...... 'boom'.

Also, I've heard that if they eat rice it has a similar outcome (expands in their digestive system).

So folks, don't try this at home. We have to be more caring towards of winged rats, I mean, friends

Same here... on my way for a few drinks on a friday night merrily chomping my King of Day and from behind a seagull clipped me in the ear.. i had just takin the burger down from my mouth to my side and he didnt get it... the cheeky bugger then flew up to a window sill over bewleys and proudly shat down on some unlucky passerby before making another failed attempt at my burger... they must like burger king!

I agree
Anybody laughing at this topic hasn't been on grafton street in the mornings where I've regularly seen people being attacked from their breakfast by seagulls

It's quite funny in a laughing at their misfortune kinda way but it is a serious issue

2 weeks ago I saw a woman have a seagull swoop onto her head for something - i assume her hair had a shiny clip or something

madness.

seagulls are loosing the run of themselves
