In front of our office in old town, there are some sea gulls nesting. They cry loudly whenever we enter our office because we are too close to their babies. Should we feed them for them to learn that we are harmless?

This happens last summer too but they go away after a few weeks. This year they come back.

  2. Please ask advice from Eesti Metsloomaühing, they can give advice. Contact +372 5632 2200 mailto:info@metsloom.ee or Facebook

  4. Get a cat near your office, he’ll take care of the eggs fast and will probably scare off the adults.

  6. These motherfuckers lived right above my head, on the roof. And in the summer they start screaming at 4-5 in the morning. It’s hot in the summer and I wanted to keep the windows open, but I couldn’t.

    Of course they shit everywhere.

  7. You can’t do anything as it’s illegal to disturb nesting birds and their babies. They’ll fly away in a month or so. If you want to be nice give them fresh fish, others won’t come since parents wouldn’t allow it. 

  13. Destroy the nest if you can, nothing to stop you from doing that.
    They are basically like mosquitos or flies.

  15. You have to get rid of them before they start nesting by destroying their nests. Once they have their babies, they’ll fight you to death and keep screaming at you for the whole season.

  17. Observe, admire, ignore.

    We have many in Karlova district in Tartu. Interesting birds. Annoying shits. They go away once their little ones fly the nest.

    Once we travelled to Helsinki from Tallinn. A seagull landed on the ship – in the front part. It calmly stood there the entire trip. And then when we were passing the little islands surrounding Helsinki, it flew off. What a smart bird, hitching a ride across the sea. Respect.

    The small ones are cute. We had one at uni. Chill
    bird. We had fun chilling with it during breaks.

    Accept nature. It’s stronger than you.
