Sweet, cute, hansom, strong, vicious, noisy, messy and likes food. Seagulls have decided that life is better where the food is close by and doesn't need much effort to catch it. So instead of spending half their lives out at sea looking for dwindling stocks of fish and the other half annoying the inhabitants of sea side towns by waking up the moment the sun gets up and raiding the rubbish bins for food they are moving inland according to an item in the Mail On Line. Unfortunately the gulls still living around here don't seem to have heard of the advantages of living in London and still wake us at sun up with probably the loudest cries any bird is able to produce and dive bomb any tourist foolish enough to feel sorry for a lone bird and throw them a chip only to discover 20 more gulls were perched on every lamp post for 200 yards and come to join the feast, usually the rest of the chips said tourist was eating, and the fish as well.
When they start nesting on the Houses of Parliament it should be fun, the Speaker will spend all his time trying to shout them down instead of the noisy MPs.
Mind you, a pack of wolves hunting ducks in the Serpentine in Hyde Park would be interesting, draw in the crowds.

If something has happened, the Mail will make it seem worse
seagulls are a pain i remember when i was akid i was with my dad in devon somwhere and he was having a cornish pasty, one gull crapped on his head and while he was fussing over that the gull swooped low and took his pasty it still makes me laugh now to see his face a look of bemuzement but gulls are crafty buggers
We do indeed have seagulls, but there's a solution: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KiJJI_WipO0&feature=channel_page
