Birds at the beach can be a real nuisance when people are just trying to refuel with a quick bite and to solve the problem of people getting swooped on by a hungry seagull, Deliveroo created designated Chipwatch Zones and an anti-bird song. The food delivery platform teamed up with experts from Exeter University to create a song to distract the birds so that beach-goers and picnickers remain safe while they snack.
Deliveroo recognizes the popularity of al fresco dining in the summer and it created versatile solutions for saving people from gulls. Aisha Jefferson at Deliveroo says, "If you’re worried about food-snatching seagulls, our Chipwatch crew will be on hand to protect you from having to share your food with our flying friends. If the beach isn’t your thing but you still find yourself covering your snacks, we’ve curated a music track that will safely distract and deter seagulls from pinching your food."
