Attacks on people and pets
Risk of fines
Poor diet harms gulls’ health

The only way to reduce the problem is to stop feeding them.

Bridgend County Borough Council @bridgend.gov.uk · 21d

🐦 Why not to feed seagulls 🐦

Feeding gulls causes serious problems for people and the birds:
Health risks (e-coli, salmonella, botulism)
Noise from 4am
Mess and property damage
