Birds don’t deserve to die because of such cruel bird deterrent measures. Help stop the killing of endangered birds such as the Herring Gull and other birds in Wales who simply want a place to land and thrive.
 
Fascinating Fact
 
No one really knows why some Herring Gulls and Lesser Black Backed Gulls started using rooftops to nest. They have been doing it since the 1940s according to the RSPB. The 1956 Clean Air Act bizarrely may have contributed as rubbish tip operators were prevented from burning waste. A result was gulls took advantage of all the organic material “throw-away” society as a whole sent to landfill. Modern bagged street side rubbish collections have also led to temporarily scruffy pavements with food scraps and a new food source for the more wily and bright birds.
