Is it wrong to love seagulls so much as to have one as a pet?

Whatever you do don't upset them!
Careful, if one day you decide to stop, it'll peck right through the window.
It happened to an old lady, one day the gull brought it's kids in so she wouldn't open the door, it just kept pecking till the glass broke and walked in, she had to get out and call the council.

I thought we had the only gull who did this. Where they have been blighted by some short sighted residents, they have come further in land.
We have one particular bird that dominates the local crew, who we have affectionately named "Gully" (sorry I know its not original!)
As soon as somebody goes into the kitchen, Gully appears on the wall for his latest fill. Being 'gull'ible (did you see what I did there?) we of course go straight out and give him something.
He clearly has sussed out an easy free meal, but I view this completely differently to the silly fools who leave out their black bags and then complain about the mess caused by a hungry animal. These plonkers then say shoot them as they are a pest. The only pests are the ones who do not use the big plastic bins provided FREE by the council. Maybe we should shoot them!!
Anyway, Gully my feathered friend you are welcome here for lunch anytime, but maybe not quite at our table!

For 2 weeks now we've been feeding him and he now comes into the house eating what he can, especially the cat food.
Even found him wandering up the stairs to the bedrooms.
As soon as he sees us, he's straight down and even bangs the back door with his beak to let him in.
What to do?
Shoot it they are apparently delicious,the guy Flemming based bond on ate them while sailing around Norway with his mother before the 2nd world war

FFS! Are you Pal**ce in disguise? How the Hell can you say shoot the clubs mascot. Do you want to go back to League One?

I was reading this thread and I must admit that this thought was running through my head. Common decency and respect for our feathered friends stopped me adding a thread but I can see that some have sunk so low that see fit to express these vile and corrupt thoughts on this board.
......does anyone know if they really do explode if you feed them bicarb, or is it just an urban myth?

Well it's better than 'our pet seagull' who is currently living on top of my roof, he / she keeps dive bombing everyone outside as its just had a baby so it's a little protective atm.

From what I've heard/understand it does work, but not in the way everyone assumes, apparently seagulls don't have the ability to burp or fart, instead of exploding with a bang and just having feathers floating from the sky, a-la cartoon style, all that happens is the gull gets distressed by having gas, flys away, suffers a ruptured stomach and dies a slow and painful death,
Sounds fantastic, doesn't it? I love our club, they are our mascot, but I'm not too pleased with them at the moment, we have a pair on my roof nesting and its making leaving and entering the house difficult as they go mental and dive bomb us, they start cawing at 4 in the morning waking us up, they're being a pain in the arse at the moment,
Me and some mates went to horatios on the pier to watch the England vs Sweden game during the euros, walking up there with a burger I had a seagull attack me from behind, it landed on my shoulder, cutting my neck with its claws and tried having my burger out of my hand, cheeky bastard. They've got some bollocks, ill give them that.

That's what I love about NSC, you learn something new every day. Further proof, should any be needed, that the site can be a force for good as well as evil

we got 3 but they all just sit and watch the gull eat all their food, we have to laugh though, I've never seen a bird full of such bravado!
It's been tagged too, didn't know they tagged gulls
Last week I was sitting in the car waiting to pick my mate up for work, and I noticed a cat hiding behind a car, poised and ready to pounce on a group of oblivious seagulls who were busy tearing apart a bin bag full of garbage. The cat made his move and darted out from behind the car in the hope of taking the seagulls by surprise, but all he could do was stop and stand there among them as each seagull stopped what they were doing and gave him a 'couldn't care less' glance, and then carried on about their business.
And while we're on the subject, where are all the dead seagulls? You see hundreds of the fuckers flying around, but you never see a dead one unless it's been hit by a car!

I once found a skeleton of one on a Greek beach. I was planning on taking it's skull to would mount on the wall (like hunters do with deer heads). Then I thought it'd be a bit weird and left it on the beach.

Never thought I would be so interested in Seagulls, can we establish if Seagulls fly out to sea to die? Becuase that is a fair point, where do the dead ones go
