They can cause havoc, in the following ways:

Health & Safety – Feral Pigeons in urban areas are the main concern. They carry disease and parasites that can be transferred to people. Their droppings contain infectious pathogens such as EColi or Salmonella which cause awful illness.
Nesting material and feathers cause respiratory issues and can be a source of insect infestations. Finally, droppings are a slip hazard, dangerous for people walking around buildings.
The H&S of people, whether they are employees, clients, suppliers or other stakeholders need to be protected against these issues. Gulls can also be a Health & safety risk to building occupants, they can become aggressive to people during nesting season (summer months) when they are protective of their young.
