Do Not Feed the Gulls - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

This prohibition sign is used to discourage people from feeding gulls in public spaces such as parks, beaches, car parks, and waterfront areas. Feeding gulls can create aggressive bird behaviour, lead to overpopulation, increase litter, and cause health hazards through droppings and potential spread of disease. The sign helps maintain a safe and clean environment for visitors while protecting wildlife from unhealthy human food.

Using this sign helps manage public behaviour and promote responsible wildlife interaction. By informing the public that feeding gulls is prohibited, it reduces incidents of aggressive birds swooping or scavenging for food, minimises damage to property, and encourages visitors to respect local wildlife. It also supports local authorities and property managers in enforcing rules designed to protect both people and animals.

Placement of the sign is essential for visibility and effectiveness. It should be installed in areas where gulls are commonly fed or congregate, such as picnic areas, promenades, outdoor seating near food outlets, marinas, and beaches. Signs should be positioned at eye level near entrances, eating areas, or public pathways to ensure they are easily seen by visitors before they have the opportunity to feed birds.

Additionally, displaying a Do Not Feed the Gulls sign promotes a culture of environmental responsibility and safety. It educates the public on the consequences of feeding wildlife, reduces nuisance behaviour, protects local ecosystems, and ensures a safer and cleaner environment for everyone. Consistent signage reinforces local regulations and supports broader wildlife management strategies.
