POSTIE UNDER ATTACK

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

A TERRIFIED postie is being forced to flee her round after being attacked by crazy seagulls.

The raging gulls dive-bomb 21-year-old Mary Nolan as she tries to deliver mail to homes on her regular route.

Mary, who has been a postie for just four months, got the fright of her life when they swooped and started to peck wildly at her.

She has had her hair pulled by the big birds twice in the past week and customers have been warned their mail won’t be delivered when she comes under attack.

Mary, who has had to abandon her round on occasions, said: “It has been going on for two weeks. Yesterday and the day before they came down at me and their talons caught in my hair.

“One of them came down so fast I didn’t really see it, but managed to duck. Then it doubled back to get me. I got the fright of my life, and there have been a few times I haven’t been able to deliver the mail.â€

It reminds me of Father Jack when he kept getting his glasses nicked by crows.

Always the same this time of year when the chicks are about,a few years back one of our lads had to have stitches in a head wound caused by the 'Gulls attacking him.
