Blackpool Zoo is looking for people interested in filling the role of Seagull Deterrent.

The zoo, located in the seaside town on England's western coast, says it's not short of seagulls.

Although the zoo says it loves all animals, it says seagulls are "proving to be a bit of a nuisance when it comes to trying to steal food from our visitors and our animal enclosures".

Prospective candidates should be 'outgoing' as you'll need to be comfortable wearing a bird costume.

In the job ad, for the Seagull Deterrent/Visitor Services Assistant, the zoo says, "We need to do what we can to keep the seagulls away from our main visitor dining areas, which is why we are looking for a team of people to join our Visitor Services team as ‘Seagull Deterrents’.

They're looking for people who are "visitor focused, friendly, energetic and flexible".
