Shout to Scare Off Seagulls, Study Finds

Scientists did a study about seagulls. They wanted to know how to stop seagulls from taking people's food.

The scientists put food in boxes on beaches. They played different sounds near the food. They played bird songs, people talking, and people shouting.

They found that seagulls don't like human voices. Seagulls flew away faster when they heard shouting. Shouting works better than just talking to scare seagulls away.

This study helps people protect their food from seagulls without hurting the birds.
