Resources to promote gull awareness

https://www.nature.scot/doc/resources-promote-gull-awareness

Gulls are intelligent birds, and the evidence suggests that more have moved into our towns and cities for two main reasons: easily available food and safe nest sites on roofs. We understand that this can sometimes cause issues, and the need for a national awareness campaign to encourage people not to feed gulls and carry out proper waste management was highlighted as a key action at the recent gull summit hosted in Inverness. We’ve developed these resources to help everyone across Scotland raise awareness of the simple steps that can be taken to help prevent gull issues. Please feel free to use these resources for awareness-raising in your area. For more information on managing gulls, please see our gull management guidance web page.
