Day 1

Spaghetti worms were prepared in 2 colours, redish-red and greenish-green, cut into equal lengths of approximately 5cm each, and placed at random in the test area.

Large seagull observed eating worms, not appearing to have a colour preference.

100% predation – 0 survivors:    N=20 a=10 b=10 n=20

Day 2

100% predation – 0 survivors:    N=20 a=10 b=10 n=20

Day 3

100% predation – 0 survivors:    N=20 a=10 b=10 n=20

Day 4

Added some camouflage to test if it would result in any survivors

100% predation – 0 survivors:    N=20 a=10 b=10 n=20

It did not.

Day 5

100% predation – 0 survivors:    N=20 a=10 b=10 n=20

Beginning to suspect this is the same seagull coming back every day due to its recognisable grumpy face.

Day 6

Seagull has learned and is on fence waiting for pasta…

100% predation – 0 survivors

Day 0 - Setup
Potential sites for spaghetti worm feeding area were investigated with several sites having to be rejected due to threat of destruction by resident doggo.

It was decided that a patio area was to be the optimal test area, situated in the garden (property is in an urban coastal area, with the sea within a couple of miles and a busy main road very close).

Birds commonly sighted: Seagulls, crows, seagulls, magpies, sparrows, seagulls, pigeons, finches, seagulls and seagulls.

Seagulls were observed to have nested on many of the roofs in the area including the property in the subject of this study. Adolescent gulls were observed still not quite showing their full adult plumage and begging adult gulls for food.
