Feeding seagulls in residential areas is often discouraged and may be illegal in some places due to local ordinances aimed at preventing nuisance wildlife and health issues. Many municipalities have regulations that specifically prohibit feeding birds, including seagulls, as it can attract larger populations and create sanitation concerns. It's best to check local laws or guidelines to understand the specific regulations in your area.

Is it illegal to have pet pigeons in Chicago?

Yes it is illegal. Chicago is the only large city in the United States to enact such a ban. No, that is not really accurate. Certain residential areas are zoned to make it unlawful to raise pigeons, but there are pigeon clubs in the city and pigeon lofts. Any person can keep pigeons in a non residential area. See Municipal Code of Chicago, Chpt. 7-12-387. It is not unlawful to feed wild pigeons in Chicago either. It is unlawful to scatter or dump seed or vegetable matter where rats can find it, but if you feed them by hand or make certain they eat all that is given with no waste, not illegal.


Can you stop your neighbor feeding seagulls?

It is not illegal to feed seagulls. However, one might argue, if vast flocks of seagulls are being attracted to your lawn because you neighbor is feeding them, that your neighbor is causing a nuisance. I think the first thing to try is to ask your neighbor to go down to the beach and feed the seagulls there, where it will not be a nuisance. Other than that, see if there is anything applicable in your municipal by-laws.
