I went to the Seagull Summit with some trepidation but was pleasantly surprised at how East Devon District Council were not anti-gull at all. They want to find ways of living happily alongside the gulls – after all the gulls have been living here long before humans came along. EDDC have publicity including posters that encourage the public not to feed the gulls especially ‘food’ that is not good for them like bread and chips. There was some anti-gull sentiments coming from some of the audience but that was only a small minority. Here is the link:

A seaside without gulls would be like New York without Yellow cabs.
