Blackpool Zoo is recruiting a team of human ‘seagull deterrents’ to dress as massive eagles and keep gulls away.
According to an advert, the job requires a ‘friendly’, ‘energetic’ and ‘outgoing’ person to don the costume and keep the birds away from the seaside attraction.
The ad reads:
"At Blackpool Zoo it goes without saying that we love all animals. And as a seaside resort, Blackpool is not short of seagulls.
"However, the seagulls are proving to be a bit of a nuisance when it comes to trying to steal food from our visitors and our animal enclosures.
"We need to do what we can to keep the seagulls away from our main visitor dining areas."
