What if anything should be done about them,over the last month or so pulses have been raised by the flying rats in my household ,
a degree of fear has entered whence once there was none ,theyre everywhere a seagull a few inches above your napper flying directly at you gives the impression of being attacked by a terrordactyl, travelling at anything between 16 to 28 mph its not a joke especially when your best attempts to shoo it away with a paper is met with a derisional Caaaaaaaa, Caaaaaaaaaa, Caaaaaaaaaa with another few swoops for good measure ,stealing the wee ones banana was the last straw she dropped it but the wing hit her face .
So I looked up ways of deterring them many just dont work and are a load of crap,its down to birds of pray feeding baskets they cant get into,
feeding them in the first place and a blue or yellow balloon with the evil eye seems to be a very popular deterrent in the States ,when the subjects been brought up more than a few have been swooped umbrellas and sticks were other objects offered as a safety buffer ,any answers .
One thing I did noticed is , as of Friday last the bins and rubbish round the High Street has miraculously disappeared the tourist is a swoop free agent ,but I can guarantee when that last firework lands at the end of the festival, rubbish and Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ,Caaaaaaaaaaaa will return to the good fowk off Edinburgh ,why is that ??
