Complaints about pesky seagulls dive-bombing people have doubled since their nests became protected, it has been revealed.
A report by The Sunday Times showed that in the last five years since the rules came in to protect nests and eggs attacks have risen from 544 in 2016 to 956 in 2020 and 1,075 in 2021.
One pub in Exeter, Devon, claims it has been terrorised by seagulls forcing it to install their own shrieking alarm to deter the nuisance birds.
