The broadcast of gull distress calls was tried at Granite Island Light years ago to no effect. Actually, it worked for about a day. Thereafter it actually served to attract the gulls as they are cannabalistic and came looking for a bird in distress to tear apart for a meal.

Has anyone ever stayed at the Detour lighthouse. I'm thinking of giving it a try and would like some in-put. I understand that the birds can be quite a problem.
