The winged menaces also dive-bomb residents for food and spread disease.

A spokesman warned: “The parish has recently received concerns around people feeding seagulls in Clos Paumelle and the surrounding area.

“The island has a large gull population and it is around this time of year when the birds are building their nests and chicks are hatching.

“The noise from these birds is often a nuisance in residential areas and feeding them or leaving out easily accessible bags of rubbish only amplifies this.

“We would like to remind parishioners that under the Statutory Nuisances (Jersey) Regulations 2017 it’s against the law to feed wild birds or other creatures in a way that means they become a nuisance or harmful to health.

“Some birds and rodents carry diseases which can be harmful to human health. Islanders who refuse to comply could be fined up to £1,000.

“We understand that people may believe they are helping or being kind to these birds.

“However we ask that you please think of the adverse effects before offering them food and especially when leaving refuse out for collection.”

Gulls are so prolific on Jersey its Government has issued guidance for residents wanting to report their neighbours, as reported on What’s The Jam.

It states: “Feeding gulls may be illegal and can cause many problems.

“It is likely to contribute to the amount of gulls nesting in a Location especially if done frequently.

“The resulting dense population of gulls may deter more desirable birds from your garden.
“Feeding gulls frequently causes disputes between neighbours.

“To report a neighbour feeding gulls contact Environmental Health on 445808.”

In 2017 a dive-bombing seagull that attacked beachgoers in Jersey was moved.

Gulliver, a hand-reared herring gull, was taken to Les Minquiers, a group of islands nine miles south of Jersey.

It followed complaints the bird has been harassing people in St Ouen.
