Shoppers and walkers in a town are being forced to run away from seagulls who are attacking people. The attacks are so frequent that people are carrying umbrellas as protection.
The attacks are taking place in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, in North Wales, near car parks between Parliament Street and Princes Road. They are happening because two birds have left their nests and their protective parents see all passersby as a potential threat, North Wales Live reports.
This week an older lady posted online thanks to King’s Head staff after she was escorted to her car under a pub umbrella. Finding herself under bombardment from two gulls, and unsteady on her feet, she was glad of the help.
