A Herring Gull for #Birbsday

I know I talk a lot of shit about #seagulls (and rightfully so because they're horrible) but it wasn't until I was editing this photo that I noticed this one's legs were all caught up in fishing wire. There's nothing I could have done but it still makes me sad. He flew away fine, though.

Drawing eyes on #food packaging could stop #seagulls stealing your #chips

We tested the idea in coastal towns where gulls take food from people eating outside

We stuck pairs of #eyes onto food #takeaway boxes & gave individual gulls a choice of 2 boxes placed 2m apart: 1 box with eyes, 1 plain

Gulls appeared put off by eyes. They were slower to approach & less likely to peck at these boxes
