Yes, I left seeds, bread and other stuff pigeons and other small birds may eat, and also provided some kind of shelter, but the only visits we have here -no matter if I provide food or not- are seagulls, which I'm not interested in.
If you’re not already, try using nutritious food formulated specifically for pigeons or doves.
Seed-heavy diets, even if formulated for pigeons, are very fatty and may not make them feel great after eating. And bread is basically junk food for birds! So if you try a more nutritious blend of food made for them specifically, they may really enjoy it and come back for more.
Plus I imagine gulls won’t bother with their tiny food.

Maybe seagulls drive everything else away. Can't think of anything else, provided there are trees and bushes around.
