Seagulls at MCG...Can anything be done?

[Lonie_from_50]

From the Herald Sun today, in the RED TIME column for the Pies vs Tigers review:

>> FOOTY, FEATHERS NO GO
Something must be done about the worsening seagull problem at the MCG.
It was emphasised again last night with a flock of more than 50 of the feathered invaders dotted on the turf among the players at each centre bounce in the first half.

And anyone sitting at more than behind post height would have found it very hard to follow the ball as the birds took flight every time play was restarted in the centre. No other football code in the world has to put up with this.

It's an anti-'seagull' agent.

Please be informed.

Introduce some birds of prey. Most of them will be too frightened and will go elsewhere.

Then again, there are quite a few. Perhaps the use of poison baits after the game would do? Or try to capture a few and relocte them, or humaney kill them? Certain sonic repellants can help too - birds can hear at frequencies much higher than we can, a noise high pitched enough would drive them away (and we wouldn't hear it).

Either way, it probably won't do much good. There will always be more seagulls, they are a constant and have been feeding off our scraps for years and years.

Why is it suddenly a big problem now? It's been like this for years, and it hasn't been bitch worthy until now.

No other football code in the world has to put up with this.

They do.

How naive of him to say this. Where ever there's lots of people, food and food scraps, there will always be seagulls. At the soccer, at the rugby, at the gridiron...

Can't Bill Lawry train segulls the way he does the pigeons, and lead them off the ground like the pied piper.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Feed them aspirin.

Doesn't it kill them within minutes?

Actually it's horse-tranquilizer. Please, keep it on topic...

Seagulls at the MCG? I thought they were only an issue for Sheedy's mob at the Dome.

Even the seagulls eat the chips from outside the ground at the dome. If they stopped issuing flyouts the problem would be solved.

 

[jonesy86]

you can't do much about the seagulls...especially when so many of the pies key players were out injured, it was up to Wallace and his tigs to kill them off but they just couldn't do it

 

[Hornet]

Place these guys strategically around the ground...

reminds me of the old story about some non-athletic chap at Yale or somewhere, who during the offseason used to go out onto the football field dressed like a ref and scatter birdseed everywhere. He did this everyday, and thus when the season started and the refs strolled out onto the field for the first game, guess what happened? They had to abandon play for the day.

Likely not true, but a good yarn nonetheless.
