Roy and Brenda Pickard were held hostage by seagulls inside their home for almost a week in Lancashire, in northwest England, with the angry birds threatening them every time they opened their door.

The elderly couple was not able to leave their house for six days as two seagull chicks nested over the canopy on the front door, reported the Daily Mail. Roy even ended up at the hospital after trying to make an escape.
