A zoo in England is so fed up with gulls terrorizing its visitors, it's hiring a "seagull deterrent" worker to wear a giant bird costume and scare away the birds.

The Blackpool Zoo posted a job opening for a Seagull Deterrent/Visitor Services Assistant position, saying the seasonal gig requires a "friendly" and "outgoing" applicant — who should be comfortable wearing a bird costume.

"At Blackpool Zoo it goes without saying that we love all animals! And as a seaside resort, Blackpool is not short of seagulls," the zoo said. "However, the 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!"

"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,' " the zoo wrote.

According to the job posting, it appears the main duties of the role include keeping seagulls away from the zoo's visitor and animal dining areas as well as interacting with guests.

The zoo didn't share more info about the wild opening.
