"It seems that the red uniforms worm by Royal Mail carriers cause the gulls to become agitated. National Gull Rescue and Protection founder Tim McKenzie claims that young gulls associate the color red with food because of the "splash of scarlet" found at the base of their parent's beak which is clearly evident to the baby birds during feeding.
The postal carriers, fearing the frenzy created by the birds staged a boycott of Southcourt Avenue leaving the residents without mail delivery for the past week."
