Bird Scarers

Clues in the name. Lesser...

Which only indicates physical size not number. That's why Waitrose say 'fewer'...

 

[CatmanV2]

It did me too. But lesser black backed gulls are def protected.

I totally get that some gulls are rare. But we have hundreds of the buggers round here. Like Starlings.

The cost for this on my project was £27k plus netting.

How much is the fine for killing a seagull?

Then we shall kill the morer chip-eating sh!t-splatting gulls instead.

Read up on the so called Seagulls as protected species about 6 months ago , when i first discovered our neighbour next door but one had been feeding them for years .............as well as venturing out every night to some woodland to feed foxes ( yes he is one of those ) It turns out the original investigation/ survey which produced the report which culminated in the protection order back in the 70's was completely flawed ........on several very important criteria and is under review ..................................so watch this space .....................though i'll probably be well gone before the legislation is changed with this government

 

[Oneball]

This does surprise me. There hardly seems to be much of a shortage of them

All wild birds are protected. Gulls are also on the red list for at risk species so have further protection. There might be a lot in your town but their numbers have decreased drastically in costal areas.

We have a seagull problem here, almost entirely due to businesses leaving food waste out overnight. But a survey last year recorded 1000 pairs in the whole of the city. Where as some nesting sites on costal islands used to have tens of thousands

Its the severe lack of sparrows and other local garden birds in recent years im more worried about .............................. reports in Holland insinuated that the roll out of 5G was a contributing factor

Unlimited fine and 6 months in jail.

Again, literally hundreds here. Of course I do feed them.

Pond and a bit of unmown grass is what you need, we put a tiny pond in and left a little corner of lawn to grow and it made a huge difference to visitors. And not just birds, even got damselflies nymphs in the pond that have just started to mature.

Exactly this. The roof we were working on (Tom Cruise does a pumpy armed run across it in MI Fallout) was literally covered in old bones - not from Tom’s lunch - old chicken bones from takeaways. They would raid the bins and fly them up to the roof. And they would go absolutely mental if you walked out of the plant room door swooping at you.

The don’t even use bins here, they leave piles of plastic bin liners out overnight and by the time the bin men arrive at 7am the seagulls have scattered them all over the street.

That's the problem. Bloody tourists feeding the bloody things!

Then your £27k is exceptional value.

They sound like fairly typical frequenters of fast-food / takeaway establishments.

Big a$$ bat. If you are high up no one will hear them scream..

Don’t encourage this lot to dress up in latex and a mask!
