Seagull Frenzy
Seagulls are beautiful animals to observe in their natural environment but can be a nuisance around your property causing damage, creating constant noise, mess and health risks from their droppings. During the breeding season the birds can become aggressive if they feel threatened.
Seaside towns and villages are becoming extremely attractive to seagulls to feed and rear their young.
We urge people to stop feeding seagulls, as the expert view is that these birds are scavengers which are thriving and putting both the public and other bird populations at risk.
Our main priorities are to:
- identify the scale and locus of the problem
- adopt environmental measures to reduce food sources
- discourage people who regularly feed scavenging birds
