A very unusual story happened to a resident of Prestatyn, Wales. The elderly Rhiannon Fennell (69) was attacked by a seagull.
According to her, as soon as she stepped outside the house, she felt the sensation of something falling on her head. She thought she had been attacked by a brick, she assured. However, she was the target of a peck from the bird.

The attack cost him a deep cut on his head, but that was treated. The woman explained that this reaction of the bird could have happened because of the time of year.

According to Fennell, the attack could be due to the time of year, when these birds tend to set up their nests on roofs and chimneys — and the attack could have been just to protect their chicks.
However, the lady guarantees that she had never been through a similar situation before: “I lived in
Africafor 30 years where they have all kinds of dangerous animals and I have never been attacked,” she lamented.However, this is not the first case of seagull attacks. In August of last year, a lady from England experienced the same situation.
In 2022, at the same time, 66-year-old Brenda Trumble was surprised by the seagull attack while returning to her home. She says she had to hide behind bushes to avoid the action.
He also claims that the bite caused serious injuries and needed to receive treatment against tetanus to avoid infections. Like Fennell, Trumble believes the attack was to protect the cubs.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) association, active in promoting animal welfare, agreed with the women's speech. Thus, she assured that the animals act in this way when someone approaches the nest or a baby falls.
However, he assured that such behavior ceases when the animals start to have feathers and are able to protect themselves.
