Wait how did they post that letter?
Plate mail and a flail - they got Medieval on their feathery asses.
I very much would be out there with a shotgun in that six week period. Not even with bird shot, just bean bags, that way there’s not any danger to humans, but those birds can get fucked.
Unfortunately they are a protected species so not allowed to do anything to them.
Yeah that's why this is a bad plan. Because of the protected species status and not the shooting of a weapon in public thing.
For real, that is an extremely American mindset and unhinged thing to say.
Some seagull
is grooving
to all our ❤️Love Letters ❤️
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One Liskeard resident described it as "deadly" to go outside when the birds were nesting.In the letter, Royal Mail assured customers the company would be "monitoring the situation on a daily basis".
"The purpose of this letter is to firstly advise you of the issues we are experiencing but also to assure you that we will continue to attempt deliveries every day.
"It added: "Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but whilst Royal Mail is committed to providing a consistent daily delivery to addresses, we do place the highest priority on the safety of our employees."
Local resident Naomi said the seagulls nest on her neighbouring property for six weeks every year.
"I've got a nest on my neighbour's roof at the minute actually and we have six weeks every year when it’s sort of deadly to go out," she said.
"It’s really a daily occurrence where I’m seeing people that are walking by or delivering things getting swooped."
