Venice has put up notices warning
tourists about greedy seagulls in the lagoon city.
The signs, in Italian and English, advise tourists not to get
too close to the increasingly aggressive animals, or feed them.
The warnings have come after a series of incidents in which
gulls have swooped down to pluck burgers and other food from
tourists' hands.
Venice city council has also advised tourists to keep to city
ordinances against sitting down and eating pizza, burgers or
chips on the steps of the city.
The council said the birds had become "ever more aggressive".
