Seagull Control & Removal
Seagulls, also known as sea gulls, are a type of bird commonly found in coastal areas of the United Kingdom. They belong to the family Laridae and the genus Larus, and there are several different species of seagulls that can be found in the UK, including the Herring Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, and Great Black-backed Gull.
Seagulls are omnivorous, feeding on a wide variety of foods, including fish, insects, crustaceans, and even small mammals and other birds. They are also known for scavenging food from human sources, such as rubbish bins and food scraps left behind on beaches and in parks.
Seagulls can be considered a nuisance in urban areas, where their aggressive behavior and loud calls can be disruptive. They can also cause damage to buildings and other structures by nesting on rooftops and ledges.
Seagull Facts.
-
Seagulls are notorious for stealing food from people. They will snatch food right out of people's hands, and will also steal food from rubbish bins and dumpsters.
-
Seagulls are known to regurgitate their food as a way to feed their young. This can be a messy and unpleasant sight, especially when it occurs in public areas.
-
Seagulls have been known to attack and kill other birds, including their own species. They have also been known to prey on small mammals and even baby seals.
-
Seagulls are opportunistic feeders and will eat just about anything, including garbage, dead animals, and even their own eggs and chicks if food is scarce.
-
Seagull droppings can carry bacteria and other harmful pathogens, which can be a health hazard to humans. In addition, seagull droppings can be unsightly and difficult to clean up, especially when they accumulate in large quantities.

Seagull Life cycle.
Seagulls, like most birds, have a life cycle that involves several stages of development. Here is an overview of the life cycle of seagulls:
-
Egg: The life cycle of a seagull begins when the female lays her eggs. Seagulls usually lay two or three eggs at a time, and they are incubated for around 25 to 30 days.
-
Chick: Once the eggs hatch, the chicks are born with soft down feathers and are completely dependent on their parents for food and protection. The parents feed the chicks a diet of regurgitated food, and the chicks grow rapidly, developing feathers and learning to fly.
-
Juvenile: After about six weeks, the chicks are fully feathered and ready to leave the nest. At this stage, they are known as juveniles and are still dependent on their parents for food and guidance. The juveniles continue to learn and develop their flying and hunting skills over the next few months.
-
Adult: Seagulls reach sexual maturity at around three to four years of age, at which point they are considered adults. They will then begin to mate and lay their own eggs, continuing the cycle of life.
-
The life cycle of seagulls is closely tied to their environment and food sources, and can vary depending on the species of seagull and the location where they live.

Seagull Pest Control.
Seagulls can cause damage and carry diseases that can be a concern for humans. Here are some examples:
-
Damage to property: Seagulls can cause damage to buildings and structures by creating nests, leaving droppings, and pecking at surfaces. Their droppings can also corrode metals and cause damage to roofing materials.
-
Health hazards: Seagull droppings can contain harmful bacteria, fungi, and viruses that can cause disease in humans. Inhaling the dust from dried droppings can also lead to respiratory problems. Seagull feathers and debris can trigger allergies and asthma.
-
Transmission of diseases: Seagulls can carry and transmit diseases such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can be transmitted through contact with seagull droppings or through direct contact with the birds themselves.
-
Aggressive behavior: Seagulls can become aggressive towards people, especially during nesting season, if they feel threatened or if they are nesting nearby. They may also carry out territorial displays or peck at people if they feel their space is being invaded.
