There is a circulating e-rumor to the effect that as an old man, Rickenbacker fed bucketsful of shrimp to the gulls every Friday night in gratitude for the one gull that helped save his and his fellow airmen's lives after they crashed their plane in the Pacific Ocean during WWII. After researching his biography online, I can find no mention of this except as attached to said e-rumor. According to the website Truthorfiction.com, the origin of this story can be traced to an inspirational religious book written by Max Lucado entitled "In the Eye of the Storm." The rumour is probably false and was probably only created to give more inspirational force to Lucado's book. Rickenbacker's own autobiography gives no mention of it, and from the type of personality Rickenbacker had (practical, results oriented, unsentimental), it is difficult to imagine him indulging in such a way.

Can you stop your neighbor feeding seagulls?
It is not illegal to feed seagulls. However, one might argue, if vast flocks of seagulls are being attracted to your lawn because you neighbor is feeding them, that your neighbor is causing a nuisance. I think the first thing to try is to ask your neighbor to go down to the beach and feed the seagulls there, where it will not be a nuisance. Other than that, see if there is anything applicable in your municipal by-laws.
