Human-wildlife conflict in urban environments highlights the intractable tension between our desire for a sheltered life and our commitment to animal conservation. The case of roof-nesting gulls epitomizes this tension in some of the most prosperous cities on Earth, including Dublin. I will discuss the causes, consequences and possible resolutions of this conflict by drawing on my research group’s findings where we have investigated the social and animal dimensions of the issue.
