Neighbours warned of sausage stealing seagull

A concerned grandmother has spoken of the danger of cooking in gardens after a seagull with "no fear" stole a sausage from her barbecue.

Fiona Manterfield, from Exeter, Devon, was enjoying a day in the garden with her family recently when a seagull swopped and grabbed the last sausage. The bird flew up on to the roof with the whole sausage in its beak.



Fiona said: "This bird showed no fear as it kept flying around, ready to swoop again if it spotted anything tasty. Our three-year-old grandson was sitting outside with us.

"I can't imagine how frightened he would have been if the seagull had fancied some of his lunch too. Perhaps we should make our neighbours aware of the impending danger of cooking and eating in the garden with their young families."
