However they will use that skill to aggresively protect their nesting sights and young. We had several people injured when we had some nesting on the roof at work. These were people who had to access the roof to service the lift motors and the ventilation fans which were only accessible from the roof. The list of minor injuries was long but in the more serious list were two broken arms and one collar bone. WHAT EVER YOU DO - DO NOT FEED THEM.

Hill Walker, wonder if the 2 broken arms were caused by someone falling off the roof, not by a seagull hitting them? Do they nest in the area of Whinney Hill? There was one Herring Gull nest on a chimney near me and it seemed to know I was looking at its nest from the ground and appeared to fly at me and ignore other people walking by, because it knew I looked at its nest - that deliberately crapped on me. At another house someone who lived there said he had seagull chicks come down the Chimney, until he put netting over. In the Whinney Hill case the problem is having land fill next to housing - any idea when the landfill ends?
