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.
a neighbor at 1918 Bernice Ave., San Jose,95124 feeds the sea gulls every morning and they come in groves. Is it illegal?
Feeding seagulls in residential areas is often discouraged and may be illegal in some places due to local ordinances aimed at preventing nuisance wildlife and health issues. Many municipalities have regulations that specifically prohibit feeding birds, including seagulls, as it can attract larger populations and create sanitation concerns. It's best to check local laws or guidelines to understand the specific regulations in your area.
Yes, they are endangered species
Yes
No. Seagulls should not be fed. They need to be eating their own food from the wild. Thanks for thinking of them!
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.
Yes, they are not very intelligent but they do remember where they have gotten food if you feed them several times in a row.
Seagulls are not herbivores. They primarily feed on fish, although they are also known to be opportunistic scavengers. In their natural state, they are carnivores, but their adaptation to man's presence has made them omnivores.
Seagulls will eat practically anything from fish, to chips, to clams, to bread.
People often feed seagulls because they enjoy interacting with wildlife and find it entertaining to watch the birds' behavior. Many view feeding them as a way to connect with nature, especially in coastal areas where seagulls are common. Additionally, some individuals may feel sympathy for the birds, believing they are helping them find food. However, feeding seagulls can lead to dependency on human food and disrupt their natural foraging behaviors.
The most common reason for a lack of seagulls in an area is that there is no food source for them. Seagulls are scavengers and cannot feed on open water like other birds.
