I removed Montreal ref, Herring Gulls are common at inland sites in many places throughout the N.hemisphere jimfbleak 07:24, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I guessed the "spikes designed to prevent gulls from landing" didn't work :) Rbarreira 17:22, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

I'd be interested to see something more added to this article about urban gulls. Do others think that this is appropriate? Certainly in the UK herring gulls are becoming a major problem in a number of cities. Legislation to protect them in their 'natural' habitat means that they cannot be removed from rooftops, with consequent problems of noise, litter and even attacks on humans by gulls. The comment at the top of this page suggests that this is not just a problem in the UK either....anyone any idea how widespread it is? Mazzy 13:38, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
