Several have even been attacked by gulls hoping to snatch a hot dog from their hand."

They would play the sounds of birds in distress through their patio pa system. It really did keep the birds away, but once your ear clued into it it was really annoying to listen to. I'm not really sure which is worse - the birds or the bird screaming???
