If you’re friendly, energetic and up for a challenge, a zoo in a popular British seaside town may have the perfect role for you: chasing away seagulls while wearing a giant bird suit.
will be paid up to £10.80 per hour to wear an eagle costume and act as a “seagull deterrent” to prevent the birds from harassing guests and animals alike at Blackpool Zoo in northwest England.Those applying should be “visitor focused,” “friendly,” and also “outgoing — as you need to be comfortable wearing a bird costume!” the advertisement says.
The zoo’s winged inhabitants also have come under attack, Fawzy added, as the seagulls have raided the nests of the native species of birds and ducks that nest on the zoo grounds, and disrupted feeding time for penguins and pelicans. “They’re a nightmare,” he said. Eagle-shaped kites and statues of owls and eagles have failed. The zoo even enlisted a real-life bird of prey, a hawk, to fly around the zoo, Fawzy said — but the seagulls, unfazed, “gathered together in flocks of 20 or 30 and … dive-bombed the hawk.”
“The costume is something the seagulls won’t have seen before, and as intelligent birds, they will naturally not like it. The costume also makes a sound when the person is moving, which is something else the seagulls don’t like,” the zoo said in its statement.
