He believes the seagulls must be removed from the center and wants the municipal council at its next meeting in August to discuss concrete measures to get rid of the seagulls, writes Northern Lights.
– The seagulls have become a big problem in the city center. Restaurants can not have outdoor seating, sidewalks and facades are soiled, and people who have food in hand are attacked. The municipality must do something about this, Pedersen tells the newspaper.
As a measure, he proposes, among other things, giving birth control pills to the seagulls and points out that Venice had great success in giving this to the city’s pigeons. He also proposes that the municipality must make sure to move seagull nests from the city center and from municipal housing, as well as order private individuals to remove nests from their own homes. He also suggests making the holes in the waste bins smaller and emptying them more often.
Among boaters, the seagulls’ preference for freshly washed canopies is a well-known fact.
