Seagulls are real rascals where I live. The rude little buggers will grab your lunch right out of your hands, especially if you sit down, and become unobservant for a second. But here's a neat trick. Just look them in the eyes. This will make them really uneasy. An informal test is to put your lunch down on the ground while you stare into their hungry eyes. Usually they won't dare to grab it, or they'll stay insecure longer, before making an attempt. Some will just straight out fly off, once you start to give them the evil eye. And about that, another great way to get rid of birds, is to start walking around them like someone stalking them for dinner. They won't stay long if you give off predator vibes.
