Sølvmåge

The herring gull (sølvmåge) is a bird of conflict. On one side, it is an iconic figure of the sea and life by the harbour but on the other side it is viewed as a pest in the cities. There’s so much we need to learn about these birds, and this is a real opportunity to look at how we can live comfortably in Aarhus with our wild companions, and do the best for both birds and people. I am curious to know more about their natural behaviours in rural and urban areas, and despite their unpopular reputation, they are indeed important for our eco-system.
