See he’s been issued with a Community Prohibition Order foe leaving food out around the town for birds, but also attracting rats.
He says he puts 12 kilos, nearly 2 stone of birdseed, bread and biscuits out from his barrow every day :shock:
He says when questioned about rats..” Birds are just like rats”…”they all need a food supply”. :shock:

He must be a mentalist- scare in the community!

How is he affording to do that seven days a week?

I don't have an issue with feeding wildlife in general however can see why people would take issue. Also the last couple of times I've been up visiting my Mum- the shear size of some of the seagulls that frequent Morrisons car park next to H.Q. is frightening - it's like they've been pumped with steroids!

I honestly don't remember them being as big as that 25 years ago when I last lived in the town- maybe we need to check what this joker is putting in the food!

He was down the bottom of Burn Road this morning as I drove to Seaton with Ratboy about 7 ish…scattering his heady cocktail with gay abandon but ironically there wasn’t a bit of wildlife anywhere in sight. :evil:

No idea why seagulls are protected, pidgeaons are flying rats albeit restaurants charge an arm and a leg for wild pidgeon.
Go try and feed the ducks at Ward Jackson Park, more seagulls than ducks, I think they take the ducklings as well.

Bottom line:
Everbody who goes to pools and buys chips are doing the same.
Thats why the seagulls are in Morrisons car park (close season)

I can see Raj banning people.

There can't be more distressing scenes than having to witness some fat munta having his burger and chips being removed from his table by a seagull ...and only a few seconds after they'd went back inside to ask for the sauces..

That actually happened to my mate who had a house on the front over the Headland. He went home via the Chippy one lunchtime as his Mrs wasn't very well. With it being a similar time of year, to now, he decided to sit on the doorstep with his pie and chips from Verrils. He put them on a plate on the doorstep and went back in the house for a drink. He comes back out and some massive gull is just about to fuck off with his pie! He came back to work livid- we were all pissing ourselves laughing! :laugh: :laugh:

You have to admire seagulls, they just look hard as nails. I bet if you rolled up, the feathers on their wings they’d have tattoos on them.

That’ll be Eric, he has a nest in the Wingfield Castle’s funnel, nice view over the Marina.

thats the big problem in feeding birds. once you chuck something down any type of bird will have it. Squirrels show interest as well but they do not bother me like some are. feed the wild ones near me 5 days of a week in different spots and the pheasants are waiting when its there day. change days and they are not there.

There's a bloke lives near me has one of those fat/seed ball Xmas trees out his back covered in them and as I walked past the other day several huge rats were scurrying about after stuffing their faces, bird's don't need it at this time of the year there's plenty of wild feed out there for them.

He was there this morning about 7, left a pile of crap outside the Clansman and was heading south flinging it everywhere..obviously he doesn’t give a flying feck about the law.
In the paper he said he was doing a service by keeping the rats in one place…a bit like saying I’m keeping murderers in one place…. We don’t want murderers or rats anywhere.

just put a small amount down for them now and increase the amount for when they,ll need it. if you stop completely they,ll look elsewhere and might not come back.

Our neighbour has made his a Japanese garden, all raked gravel and fancy Dan garden furniture and popped his head over to say he had a rat in his garden and wondered if it had come from under the decking I’d just put in…..I looked over to see some oriental moving sculpture spreading seeds generously around his garden and I pointed that out as the cause…. I advised him to get rid of it……or it’ll be like Tenko.

His garden features in the good food guide for Rodents
I’d recommend the Ratatouille, ……sorry, I just couldn’t resist it. :oops:
