Youaintseenme Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) So there is a hole on the crazy golf in Ramsey currently out of action and all fenced off because a seagull is nesting in there. Can’t we just move it? Where does it end? If one chose to setup home in a public toilet so we close it for a few weeks? Do we close a road if a bird wants to nest there. There has to be a balance surely, and is it just me that thinks this isn’t it? Edited May 12 by Youaintseenme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One stupid gull laid an egg at the foot of one of the palm tress in Shoprite Douglas car park last year. I doubt the egg hatched as the gull was on-off the egg numerous times as people/cars passed by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We close roads and inconvenience hundreds for a few weeks just so a few bikers can ride pointlessly round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A seagull is the common and well recognised, though not technically correct name for those annoying creatures that 99 percent of us call seagulls. Does that help?

Kopek Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I'm amazed that the Gulls use the street lighting to negotiate at night! It's a wonder that they have not taken a copyright charge against Tom Tom!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
