Gizmodo: This Ridiculously Simple Trick Might Stop Gulls From Nabbing Your Lunch. “Researchers in the UK studied how European herring gulls (Larus argentatus) in the city reacted to various types of takeout boxes. The gulls were substantially less likely to approach or peck at boxes that had googly eyes attached to them, they found. Though not every bird was deterred, the simple design strategy […]

You lovelies get both!

Radio frequency gull emissions
Are jamming up the airwaves now
Flocks and flocks of swirling birds
Breaking up my communications, but how?
My RF emissions are breaking up
Too much flapping interference math
I cannot receive you, cannot copy
The seagulls have disrupted the path
We must use electronic countermeasures
Or all will be lost
The radio communications must continue
At any and all cost
We shall lose the war if we cannot communicate
Using our high power RF transmitter array
Quick fire up the falcon brigade
To chase the seagulls away

It’s a bird city

Cork City, where birds have become incredibly adept at turning human carelessness into dining opportunities.

Urban-adapted birds like the seagulls and crows photographed here have developed significantly different behaviours compared to their rural counterparts. City-dwelling seagulls often show reduced fear responses to humans and have learned to time their foraging around peak human activity periods, such as lunch hours when dropped food is most available.

Crows, meanwhile, have demonstrated remarkable problem-solving abilities in urban environments and can even learn to associate specific locations with regular food sources. Studies have shown that urban bird populations often have different dietary compositions, stress hormone levels, and even song patterns compared to rural birds, reflecting their adaptation to city life and the constant presence of human activity.
