Sorry to say but I'm starting to really HATE the Seagulls

Gulls don’t respect species relationships and will not only eat other gull species, but engage in cannibalism from time to time—just because. Several species take young from a neighbouring gull’s nest and eat them. In a bizarre (and exceptionally creepy) research project, an ornithologist noted a weekly pattern in one species’s cannibalism incidents. On Sundays, the carnage increased, and the gulls not only stole other chicks to consume, but occasionally fed on their own. It appears that human trawling cycles influence the availability of food, and on Sundays (without trawlers to follow) cannibalism becomes a more attractive choice (source: Listverse.com).

Nasty, nasty, nasty winged sea mammally b'stards!

Well aren't you lucky that you weren't born a seagull then? Next you'll be blaming the pigeons for cooing and huddling together on municipal buildings and shitting on public monuments.

Can you eat it?

Yes, very rich in protein (more so than Soya Beans) and it is eaten in some parts of South-East Asia, although most interest is in it's potential as a biofuel and animal-feed, given that it has the fastest doubling time of any flowering plant.

Other areas of interest include water remediation, control of evaporation and disturbance of the Mosquito life cycle.

BRIAN: Uh, well, the birds, then.

EDDIE: What birds?

BRIAN: Any birds.

EDDIE: Why?

BRIAN: Well, have they got jobs?

ARTHUR: Who?

BRIAN: The birds.

EDDIE: Have the birds got jobs?!

FRANK: What's the matter with him?

ARTHUR: He says the birds are scrounging.

BRIAN: Oh, uhh, no, the point is the birds. They do all right. Don't they?

FRANK: Well, good luck to 'em.

EDDIE: Yeah. They're very pretty.

BRIAN: Okay, and you're much more important than they are, right? So, what are you worrying about? There you are. See?

EDDIE: I'm worrying about what you have got against birds.

BRIAN: I haven't got anything against the birds. Consider the lilies.

ARTHUR: He's having a go at the flowers now.

EDDIE: Oh, give the flowers a chance.

Seagulls are nasty little buggers, they always remind me of 17 year olds that have just had their third pint of the night and will argue with anyone. Sorry, dress them up as a an endangered species but I'm not sure there disapearance will be missed as the Crows and Magpies are getting the hang of out competeing them.

No, I would do that tappy thing they do with their feet to replicate rain drops on grass to encourage worms to surface. I would therefore not need to eat the YOUNG!!!

We need to bio-engineer Seagulls to only eat Spiders, at least that would solve one problem.
