Hi Soley, I feel your pain and guilt, I have been feeding a young gull for 2 years and it brought its chicks who now squeal when they see me through my window. It goes against everything in my nature to ignore them and I had reduced to a morning feed only but due to coronavirus the other gulls in the area are very hungry and they all flock in a huge crowd in the morning (it’s quite aggressive when they peck at each other for the food I put out), they are even eating seed that is thrown for the little birds as they are so desperately hungry and it hurts my heart. I can’t keep encouraging every gull to come. Although I hate the thought of any of them becoming weak or pained from hunger, I don’t want them to be dependent on me for food...I too would welcome advice
