Innovative research shows that food containers featuring large printed eyes successfully deter seagulls from snatching meals, using their own instincts to keep our snacks safe. Eye-like markings have been used before to exclude birds from certain areas, such as keeping seabirds out of fishing nets and raptors out of airports.
