It scours trash cans to make the streets dirty or sometimes attacks people. There are also claims that excrement can infect people with deadly diseases.
In the midst of this, citizens were shocked to see a seagull hunting pigeons on the street.
According to local media such as Daily Star, a group of seagulls attacked and ate pigeons on a street in Glasgow, Scotland.
At that time, citizens were throwing food like breadcrumbs to the pigeons, and a group of seagulls appeared and attacked the group of pigeons.
A witness said "A group of seagulls appeared to be aiming for a gap between pigeons eating bread" and suddenly rushed in while being around. It looked like a monster."
Another citizen saw the seagulls eating live pigeons. It was an unexpected cruel sight."
Residents of Liscard, nearby Cornwall, also testified that they were afraid to go out because of seagulls.
More than 60 seagulls show aggressive behavior, such as attacking residents to take away ice cream or snacks.
Even the postmen changed the color red to grey or beige uniforms after hearing that the seagulls were aiming for it.
On the other hand, some argue that seagull excrement can pose a fatal threat to humans.
The British media Daily Star quoted an official from the pest control company 'rentokil' as saying that there are dangerous bacteria that can harm humans in the feces of seagulls.
The feces of seagulls contain antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella.
It is known to enter the body and cause infection when a person inadvertently touches the feces excreted by seagulls and then eats food or touches the face.
In general, gulls are highly aggressive and active in their movements because they protect their nests during the breeding season, from late spring to early summer, and look for food to feed their young.
