Don't suppose there's any chance of a few of your Gulls i.e. 'bout a million maybe having a feed on our flying rats in Melbourne..mate....?

Actually, pigeons cop it from many quarters. Here in Istanbul, Turkey, there have been quite a few records of the locally common Yellow-legged Gulls (a close relative of the Hering Gull and similar in size) pursuing, catching and eating city pigeons. I have seen this behaviour myself, though not a successful catch, but successful pigeon dinners have been filmed. Sorry, I don't have a link to any footage.
