Gull, Lesser Black-backed Larus fuscus
Gull, Herring Larus argentatus

These license conditions include the requirement that the user must be satisfied that legal (including non-lethal) methods of resolving the problem are ineffective or impracticable.
So just shooting them because they P. you off is a no no.

i no its nice isnt it

[Skean Dhude]

Seagulls can't be protected. None of my pellets hit any form of sheilding at all.

[Hrusai]

dunno why you'd waste the ammo?

buy a pot of sodium bicarb, ask strangers for chips, the proceed to make holes in the chips and fill the holes with sodium bicarb, feed that to a seagull and its a ticking timebomb! nothign funnier than watching a seagull nick a loaded chip, fly off then suddenly die in mid air cause its stomach exploded xD

spent many a fun time doing that lol
