We have heard about some wild jobs, but this one has got to be the most interesting, yet weirdest...

A woman with a hawk has been hired by a small town in California to scare off mating seagulls. 

Sounds crazy, right?

She works ten hours a day in the town of Pacific Grove, California. It is a seasonal gig and they are required to scare off the seagulls.

We can't imagine how bad it must get for them, but this is surely a creative way of getting rid of the seagulls? 

Plus she shared that the seasonal gig pays very well. She is certainly a bird lover, so it's a win-win for her then...

Many people from in and around the area shared their confusion around the nature of her work. 

What was the need, the purpose? Then one person shared that they also catch birds for a living. The city requires it and so they hire bird catchers...
