Do Not Feed the Gulls - Please Place All Unwanted Food in the Bins - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Manage wildlife interactions and maintain cleanliness in public spaces. Feeding gulls encourages aggressive behaviour, overcrowding, and dependence on human-provided food. This can lead to nuisance issues, such as littering, fouling of public areas, and potential health risks for both humans and birds. The sign clearly communicates the correct way to dispose of food, reducing the attraction of gulls to populated areas.

This sign should be placed in public parks, picnic areas, beaches, promenades, outdoor dining areas, and other locations where people eat or gather outdoors. Strategic placement near benches, food stalls, or bins ensures that visitors see the instructions before discarding food or feeding birds. By positioning the sign in areas prone to gull activity, authorities can reduce littering, minimise human-wildlife conflicts, and maintain a cleaner, safer environment.

The messaging “Do Not Feed the Gulls” provides a direct instruction to stop harmful behaviour, while “Please Place All Unwanted Food in the Bins” offers a positive alternative, encouraging responsible disposal. This combination of prohibitive and instructive language increases compliance by informing the public of the correct behaviour rather than just forbidding an action.

Overall, using this sign helps protect public health, preserve local wildlife habits, and reduce maintenance costs associated with litter and gull-related damage. Clear signage fosters responsible public behaviour and contributes to a safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable environment for everyone.
