The council are not interested and refuse to take any action. There is an irresponsible neighbour who puts out food for them daily. They swoop and fly around squawking day and night. They poop over the car, the washing, windows and us. Is there a humane and leagal way to cull these pests?
PS I wasn't sure where to post this question, sorry if it's in the wrong section.

Shoot them and cook them for dinner. If you tell nobody, who would know?

First and foremost, I don't know where you are, but here in the state of Massachusetts they are protected. I'm not sure why, as there are all so many of them. But if you have a neighbor who is feeding them you won't be rid of them anytime soon. I myself on occassion do go to the bech parking lot and feed them myself. BUT I don't feed any birds or any kind of animal domestic or wild in my yard. Once you do this you have a new pet so to speak.

Seagulls are protected animals, they are scavengers, under the Wildlife Protection Act to disturb them in any way will cost you $2,000 a pop.

Try getting rid of all the litter around. They'll leave if they don't have anything to eat.
