Venice seagull problem leads to squirt gun distribution at high-end hotels
Fox News
High-end Venetian hotels are arming locals and tourists with squirt guns to combat food-stealing seagulls when they book rooms overlooking the Italian city’s famous Grand Canal.
Seagulls have since flocked to St. Mark’s Square and around hotel balconies that face the canal for feeding opportunities. The seabirds descend whenever breakfast and lunch are served in hopes of snatching sandwiches or pizza from unsuspecting diners, ANSA reports.
The Gritti Palace, an ornate five-star boutique hotel that was originally built in the 14th century, has resorted to giving guests orange squirt guns to keep seagulls away.
