Getting rid of unwanted nesting gulls (1 Viewer)

[steve west]

I've been told that someone wants to contact me after seeing an article in the Costa Brava Resident magazine about me ("Birdman"). Apparently they have gulls (Yellow-legged Gulls I suspect) nesting on their roof and want to know how to get rid of them, or at least how best to deal with the problem.

What can I say to this reader? Any ideas?

Congratulate them on having a wildlife habitat on their roof, and enjoy watching the spectacular.

Why is it supposed to be a problem? In the end the best approach will be to let them nest and rear their young. Any attempt to clear the nests for instance will just prolong the birds stay as they will rebuild and try again.
