## Resource

Seagulls are under siege across Aberdeenshire, with over 350 rescue calls this year — from being run over, thrown off roofs, to being shot. Most are herring gulls, the common urban birds facing a wave of persecution fueled by social media’s toxic “demonization.” But here’s the twist: these gulls aren’t pests — they’re survivors adapting to shrinking habitats, scavenging where food’s available. Despite their boldness, their numbers have plummeted 40% in decades. It’s time to rethink how we coexist — not with hatred, but with understanding.
