Royal Mail apologises for late deliveries after a string of seagull attacks on its postal workers in Liskeard.

Residents in a town in Cornwall have received a letter from Royal Mail apologising for late mail - explaining that its delivery workers were being hampered by dive-bombing seagulls.

Royal Mail said those living in the affected zone in Liskeard could choose to wait until the birds were not aggressively protecting their young, or nominate a new address.

One Liskeard resident described it as “deadly” to go outside when the birds were nesting.

    I very much would be out there with a shotgun in that six week period. Not even with bird shot, just bean bags, that way there’s not any danger to humans, but those birds can get fucked.

      Unfortunately they are a protected species so not allowed to do anything to them.

        Yeah that’s why this is a bad plan. Because of the protected species status and not the shooting of a weapon in public thing.
