Do Not Feed the Gulls Campaign

• Increase aggression and conflict especially during nesting and fledgling season
• Disrupt natural behaviours with some birds becoming dependent on waste
• Increase mess and the risk of contamination or disease
• Create noise or nuisance that impacts people including those in care homes, hospitals etc
• Harm the birds, as human food is not suitable and chicks can fall from roof spaces, making them vulnerable in urban areas
• Make public areas less safe or enjoyable, creating a risk of injury in some cases particularly for children, older adults or people with disabilities
• Lets work together to keep Inverness clean, safe and welcoming this summer and encourage our birds to nest in more suitable areas.
