If you've ever lived at the coast you know what a nuisance sea gulls can be though it's more the fault of people thinking it's fun to offer them food but what the people don't understand is the gulls quickly become accustomed to receiving these easy meals and then become pests and never mind the foods they are stealing from people or other animals are usually far from an ideal diet for the birds. The Blackpool Zoo has a solution to the problem, they are hiring "Seagull Deterrents" who are people willing to dress up in a bird costume to scare the gulls away from eating areas. I'm not sure this will really work but presumably since it's a zoo they know what they're doing.
