'Flying rat' seagull causes havoc for Aberdeen woman after it flies into her kitchen

This is the hilarious moment a seagull flew into an Aberdeen woman's kitchen causing havoc and leaving her desperately trying to shoo the bird out of her home.

Gillian McCabe, 40, was alerted when the family dog started growling and barking in the other room, and it was when she entered the kitchen she became award of the intruder.

Startled by the sight of a huge "flying rat" dancing around the room and cowering from the seagull's sight, Gillian recorded the funny clip from the safety of the living room.

Despite the family dog trying to escort the beaked intruder out of the kitchen, the seagull was not budging.

In the footage, you can see as Gillian starts to shout at the bird as it attempts to escape via a window. The seagull usually sits on the shed roof in the garden but got a bit cocky this day.

"My dog started growling and barking so went to see what was happening," Gillian said.

"I thought my dog was going to eat it but it kept pecking her. We opened the door and it scared it to the worktop and it left out the open window.

"Despite us nicknaming it the friendly seagull, I think they are flying rats and Aberdeen ones are huge and scary.

"My daughter wanted to keep it as we already have a cat, dog, house rabbit, hamster and look after my friend parrot from time to time."

The clip was filmed on August 3.
