Aberdeen struggle to scare off seagulls

ABERDEEN have reassured their fans that they are doing everything they can to stop their matchday experience being affected by seagulls at Pittodrie.

“Aberdeen FC has adopted a strong policy regarding the city-wide problem with seagulls,” the club statement read. “The club has employed for the past few seasons now a fully-licensed company who specialise in eradicating and controlling these birds. This company have been taking care of the nests and eggs three times a week.

“We continue to have a hawk flying during the week at Pittodrie and also an hour before doors open on match days. In addition to this, last year we installed an automatic audible warning system which distributes various distress calls from different birds to act as a deterrent.

“For obvious reasons we cannot fly birds of prey during games.”
