A Wetherspoon pub has installed a shrieking alarm to keep gulls away. The bird alarm has been heard playing a variety of gull sounds to scare off the pests, which swoop on drinkers and diners sitting outside.
The alarm has recently been moved to a new location at the Imperial pub in Exeter, reports DevonLive. A spokesperson for Wetherspoons said "Early signs are that is has been much more effective at deterring the seagulls, since it has been in the new location."
It's not the first time that The Imperial has tried to help people enjoy a meal undisturbed by thieving birds. In 2019, they began using a falcon, to patrol the pub garden and keep seagulls away. .
