![]() ![]() Options now being considered after weeks of sleep depravation.ġ. The RSPB could do nothing about it either and offered no advice other than just keep out of their way. I told him I had already contacted them 2 years ago (after my last post) when my wife was attacked outside our house by a “flying rat” protecting one of its young, which was in a garden nearby. Unsurprisingly, he said there was nothing they could do and suggested I got in touch with the RSPB. These buildings are occupied by a mix of private and Council tenants so right away the Council have an excuse not to get involved. I asked if the Council would put spikes on the roofs of the three tenaments where the majority of them sit. However, 2012 and the “mutants” are back and just as bad as 2010. The 2011 "Flying Rat" problem didn't seem quite as bad as the year before. Update on my post of August 2010 from Longstone, Edinburgh. Posted anonymously at 14:07, Mon 28 June 2010 and to be honest there isn't really any rubbish lying about in the street's as we have those big bucket's every where now so why do they keep coming into the centre of town,and if one more person tell's me the reason why they screech is because they're looking for water i don't believe that, it can pour with rain here in edinburgh for day's and they still screech im dreading when the festival starts as the bird's will be going mad at 11.00pm every night because of the firework's after the tattoo finishe's evey night, it's ok for people on this page to say stop moaning easier said than done when you have to live with it, 7 years ago i stayed cloeser to the sea than i do now and never heard nothing like what im listening to here in the centre of town, something should be done about this but because they're protected nothing can be done or so the council told me, but i bet them in the council get a good night's sleep. i am so shattered with getting woken up at 3.30am every morning with the high pitched screeching from theses bird's as i type this at 1.50pm they are still screeching and have been all day. I live in the centre of edinburgh and this problem is so frustrating with no help at all from council. Posted anonymously at 13:05, Wed 29 July 2009 I've no problem with the seaguulls in brighton, just the noise 5metres from my window all night long, it's affecting my sleep and causing me headaches and extreme tiredness. It would then move the birds to the parks or beach rather than the chimney pots, which is where the real problem is FC. Nets and spikes for all streets is the way to go. Did you know seagull population is increasing by 30% each year, they give birth to up to 2 hatchlings which then return to the same breeding nest, so the problem enevr goes away, only gets worse. ![]() I did hear that the year before last Brighton and Hove Council had decided on a cull but last years numbers (probably due to cold summer) put them off. I reported it to the EPA but they won't do anything. ![]() I've measured the noise levels and it exceeds the EPA noise levels. I live on the top floor and there is constant noise from 4am ish onwards till about 1am. I live on Over Street by Brighton Station and it's a freaking nightmare. I too am trawling the net for a seagull solution. Posted anonymously at 21:21, Thu 25 June 2009 Lucklily enough im moving to Barcelona in a month so it wont be a problem (im not moving because of the seagulls but its certainly a bonus).Īnd FC, yes, I know they have seagulls there to but I can tell you they dont make half the noise or do half the damage that these ones do! I really dont see a solution to this problem except a cull really as there are clearly far too many of them inland because of the treats of our rubbish and the protection they get from people like FC. Every bin day theres crap on loads of streets (not just Tidy Street) and thier noise is plainly increadible, I think if the council did want to help the first step would be to be prompt in picking up the rubbish, but in reality the damage is done way before the binmen arrive (even if they are on time). I have lived near the sea my entire life (in various places/countries) and I have never seen anything as noisy, messy or brash as the seagulls in Brighton.
