Blackpool Zoo's 'seagull-scaring' job attracts 250 applicants from as far as Australia and the US
More than 250 people from as far as Australia, the US and even Ukraine have applied for the Seagull Deterrent role at Blackpool Zoo. The role pays £10.80 an hour and requires the successful candidates to wear a giant bird costume and chase after seagulls.
The role was created as seagulls have stolen food from penguins and pelicans and “make a real nuisance of themselves” during talks, feeds and demonstrations that involve fish. Previous attempts to deter them include having supersized eagle shaped kites and large statues of various birds of prey. He added: “The costume is something the seagulls won’t have seen before, and as intelligent birds, they will naturally not like it. The costume also makes a sound when the person is moving, which is something else the seagulls don’t like.
