Scots need to learn to live with pesky chip-stealing seagulls because they’ve been driven from their natural habitats by human activity, experts say.
And Scottish nature groups insist rather than go to war with bin-raking seagulls, we should adapt to live alongside them. RSPB Scotland said with the plentiful nesting space and food found in cities it’s “no surprise” so many gulls are drawn to urban environments. “Of course it can be frustrating to find droppings on your car or be woken by a couple of birds arguing over a sachet of tomato ketchup.
McNab continued: “We believe the answer to gulls moving into ‘our’ territory isn’t to get rid of the gulls - it’s to remove temptation and ensure that they have their own healthy, thriving habitats.”
