A new municipal ban on feeding seagulls in Vlissingen is being met with skepticism from food vendors and residents after repeated incidents of birds stealing ice cream and fries along the boulevard and in nearby Middelburg, Zeeland, Omroep Zeeland reports.
Vlissingen is not the only place struggling with nuisance caused by seagulls. Cities such as Leiden, Haarlem, and The Hague are also trying to limit the nuisance.
