Seagulls are protected under the “Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918”. This means that it is illegal to capture, kill, or keep a seagull in your home (unless you have a special permit).
So, no: you cannot go into the Meijer parking lot, yoink a seagull from the flock, and take it home.
This PSA has been brought to you by an argument with my son during a grocery pick-up.
Thank you.
Well, I’d like to see anyone stop me, cuz my living room full of seagulls begs to differ.
When the feds come to your door, they’re gonna hear all those seagulls.
