Seagulls have been the silent griefers of Raft since day one. In Raft v1.1.01 Beta, the developers have adjusted the "Scarecrow Detection Radius." Birds will now actively avoid areas with three or more scarecrows, rather than mockingly landing on the scarecrow’s head. Additionally, the hitbox for the bird has been slightly enlarged, making the slingshot a viable counter rather than a cruel joke.

This prevents the "sudden collapse syndrome" that cost players hours of progress. Raft v1.1.01 Beta
