Herring Gull

"Herring gulls are huge birds, each one a kilo in weight with a wingspan of 4 1/2ft. A thousand of them in the air together are a tonne of hardened muscle wielding a terrifying armoury of beak and claw. And there are many more here than a thousand. Exponentially more. We are heading into a zone where gulls not only outnumber their human neighbours, but outweigh them."

Smaller Gulls Walmart parking lot Nashville, TN.

I worked at a building that had lots of seagulls. It looked like they were living on the roof. They were miles from a big body of water.

I lived in Tuckerton,NJ in the 1980s. Once while cooking steaks on a hot Weber grill,one of those black headed Laughing Gulls snatched a steak right off the grill! The little b@#$@$d!

They are a lot bigger than the $5 “Cornish hens” at my local grocer. Can I eat one?

So, start shoting them. Oh, so sorry, I forgot. This is the UK, no guns allowed. Why do they seem surprised. Gulls are scavengers. Here on the West coast, they sleep on the beach every night. Then just after dawn. You can watch them take off, usually in two large group launchings. They head inland. Why, because they are flying to the inland canyon landfills where they feast on garbage all day and then return to the beach in late afternoon. That is a lot easier for them then flying above the waves looking for a fish.

For cryin out loud, I know it’s the UK and all, but have these people never thought of arming a bunch of young boys with pellet guns and offering a bounty on gulls?

Seagulls are thriving in cities attacking people, deafening residents, damaging buildings, spreading panic and disease.

We must learn to appreciate their culture.

Over rocks and trees and sand
Soaring over cliffs
And gently floating down to land
She proudly lifts her voice
To sound her mating call
And soon her mate responds by singing
Caw Caw Caw
Come with me

Lesbian Seagull

Settle down and rest with me

Fly with me lesbian seagull

To my little nest by the sea
With me that’s where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you’re with me
She skims the water
At the new time to seek
Her fish and she emerges
With one squirming in her beak

She plays among the waves
And hides between the swells
She walks the beach at twilight

Searching for some shells
Come with me

Lesbian Seagull

Settle down and rest with me

Oh fly with me lesbian seagull

To my little nest by the sea

With me that’s where you belong with me
I know I can be strong when you’re — you’re with me

And in the evening
As they watch the setting sun
She loooks at her as if to say
The day is done
It’s time to find their shelter

Hidden in the dunes

And fall asleep the
Music of the moon
You and me

Lesbian seagull

You just watch the world oh my

Just you and me lesbian seagull

Side by side with me ‘till we die
(’Till we die)
You and I
We can make it if we try
Our love will keep us flyin’ high

Until we die...

The Brits are all upset about gulls, maybe they need some alligators to put things in perspective.

We don't have much trouble with our seagulls in Corpus Christi. We even put them on our ciy flag, which was voted the 10th best city flag in the US in 2001 by the North American Vexillological Association.
