Rhiannon Fennell doesn't blame the gull - and says it was protecting its nest nearby.
Ms Fennell said the birds have been nesting in chimney pots on neighbours roofs for years, but this is the first time she's been attacked.
Since the incident, she admits she feels "a bit nervous" going outside, but said: "What can you do - wear a hard hat?""It's not the seagull's fault. The chicks are leaving the nest and the parents are naturally protective," she said.Rhiannon Fennell was left with cuts on her elbows and blood in her hair
All species of gull are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which makes it illegal to intentionally kill or destroy an active nest or its contents. But in certain circumstances, it states control measures may be necessary and licences can be issued by Natural Resources Wales permitting nests or birds to be destroyed.
This is only if there is no non-lethal solution and if it is done to prevent serious damage to agriculture, the spread of disease, to preserve public health, preserve air safety or to conserve other wild birds.
