Get out of here!
Been getting loads of these buggers round the feeder, lately. The crows are doing their best to deter them — mobbing them, pulling their tails when they stoop to feed, loudly besquawking them — but to little avail. What does one do about a gull infestation? I don’t mind the crows; they’re polite. They wait for other birds to finish, before hopping on the feeder. They relieve themselves elsewhere. They keep their cawing to a minimum, before sunrise. These gulls, though, phoah! — they frighten my finches, slop bird lime everywhere, screech across the courtyard at five in the morning — they’re the worst!
