Yes
Two gulls, with attitude, looking for an apartment in Newcastle rather than live on a rooftop. I do know its quite cold up there in the North East..lol. One of the two residents said " 'I even googled how long seagulls live for hoping that they might just die because we are demented, but they live for 20 years.'

Two rowdy seagulls terrorise flatmates by waking them up at 6am

Georgina Gray, 25, and Helen McKeever, 26, are being woken up at 6.30am every day by the gulls, who peck at the window of their Newcastle flat morning, noon and night.

I wonder if they are seeing their reflection in the window?

There was just one gull at first then another arrived. It's mate, maybe ? There are funny videos online of birds reacting to their reflections,.,.ie car wing mirriors..I recall a very funny one involving a Blue Tit. These gulls seem to be looking inside,though .Maybe they see food..dunno.

SFT recommends spikes. They're used as lot, I see, (link).Bird control spikes. Usinging nails won't do the trick..

The continuous attacking sounds more like territorial aggression than feeeding. Might be easy to check that with a mirror or black paper/paint/whatever on the window so they can’t see in or bright light to stop the glass acting as a mirror.

Though given the source it sounds a bit like attention seeking (the humans not the birds) to me. ;(
