I think it depends where you are. But, keep in mind if you want to take an egg, the mom recognizes the egg by it's scent, and touching it yourself covers the scent. I would recommend not taking it if you aren't sure about whether it's illegal or not.

It's not illegal but most official governing bodies will discourage it. If the noise from the gulls is so prevalent that it affects neighbours lives then it could be considered as breaking the law.

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.
