THE BIRDS: Hitchcock Movie Comes to Life as Seagulls’ Attacks of People and Pets Spiral Out of Control in Scotland
Dwindling fish populations are driving seagulls inland in search for food, and have caused a surging problem, and the birds are menacing both the coastal communities and major cities.
The attacks have sparked hundreds of complaints to councils all over Scotland.
As they travel to new inland areas, nearly 700 complaints have already been lodged this year, vastly surpassing last year’s total of around 600.
Daily Mail reported:
“[The complaints] include horrifying accounts of children left bloodied by the birds swooping on people and household pets and, while coastal communities are severely affected, complaints also include scores of revolting tales of the gulls feasting on rats in Scotland’s biggest city.
