Fresh start

Well after several have asked me to restart my blog I decided to put it back up.

Details of why my blog was removed dont need to be discussed, I don't care who reads my blog or who comments, everyone is welcome but what I will say is "if what I write is upsetting you , don't read it anymore". I will not supress nor apologise for my thoughts or feelings to anyone if I did it would be a false apology.

Alfred Hitchocks movie The Birds comes to mind.

EDINBURGH (Reuters) - The Scottish government has declared war on increasingly aggressive urban seagulls.

The initial battle will be joined in the southwestern town of Dumfries during next spring's breeding season when a special anti-gull "task force" will seek to destroy nests and drive out the birds.

"Seagulls are a menace to Scottish towns and cities," said Environment Minister Michael Russell. "They thrive on litter and their aggressive behaviour towards other birds, pets and even people is increasing."

He said Dumfries had a particular problem with regular reports of gulls "dive-bombing" humans.

Russell said he had even heard of a young paperboy in Dumfries "who has had to abandon his deliveries due to constant attacks from the birds."

Dumfries town councillor Jack Groom said the time for talk was over, adding that it was time for action before a human was seriously hurt by the gulls.

The seagulls were there first.

They didn't used to eat garbage - it wasn't until sloppy mankind came along and crowded them into less and less living space - and overfished the sea removing their natural food that seagulls started to behave this way.

So the "usual solution" will happen, the natural wildlife will be eradicated. Ugh.

as for the first part of the entry...I am reminded of something a friend told me once. We are all entitled to our opinions and methods of expressing those opinions. That said, we all need to learn to agree to disagree and just move forwards with our lives.

Glad to see you back, Aus!

I agree wholeheartedly with you, Iggy.

I have to agree Iggy.. I am a gull fan I am always feeding them regardless of the fact that they now have warning signs up everywhere saying if you are caught you will be fined...I figure that a few chips or a little of what we have shared with them is nothing compared to the amount of food that man has stolen from them
