Feed The Birds? Not In Dumfries Matey!

Remember the song "Feed The Birds, Tuppence a Bag" from Mary Poppins?

Well, these are not the sentiments in Dumfries, Scotland where the council is debating whether to ban feeding the local gulls who have become a menace with the gulls diving at the public or snatching their food.

Speaking as a resident of a coastal town, I can confirm that some of these gulls are very aggressive and BIG ... and I mean really BIG!

I suspect that small children and dogs could be easily taken by some of these brutes ..... well nearly!
