In Nice, drones help regulate gull populations. A gull egg sterilization campaign was launched last Thursday for 15 days.
The operation consists of flying over the 200 addresses identified using a drone to treat the eggs with a paraffin-based product, non-toxic to humans and animals. In addition, the aircraft also makes it possible to carry out bird monitoring missions and check their state of health. The city is faced with the inconvenience of these urban nesters “particularly due to reproduction periods, which result in aggressive behavior and strong noise pollution”
