I have been feeding a seagull with a broken wing. One day I put a plate out with rice, beef, Whole wheat bread, green grapes and cooked carrots. He ate everything but the carrots, which he picked out and tossed away!

What would you find in a pellet of a seagull?

The seagull's pellet if you know what it means, would include all the bones and fur and feathers the seagull has eaten. This is true, you would also find this interesting.... I have worked at a landfill for over 20 years, during that time I have observed thousands of seagulls eating many strange things. Seagulls will eat anything that has food or blood on it. I've observed them eating "food coated" plastic, paper, aluminum foil, and even used sanitary napkins. They simply "digest" what is food and regurgitate the ineditable parts. The seagull pellets that I have seen contain: paper, plastic, clay or mud, bits of fabric, foil, string, rubber bands, and wood.
the world's most terrifying creature. it steals your fries at the shore and poops all over your car in the parking lot... also it's a bear!
The Best thing to feed baby seagulls for a short amount of time before you have the chance to get real food is wet bread. they get their water from the bread and their food. Once you have the time get either some wet canned cat food or some sardines.
if the seagull is old enough to ingest live food, rather than regurgitated from the mother you should find fresh live minnows.
or hard boiled eggs.. I had a little one with a broken leg, he would have died without help,
I splinted the leg and through mentoring by a licensed bird care giver I was able to obtain Baytril an antibiotic, and was instructed to feed the little guy minnows and eggs.. if the minnows are dead (and that's all you can get) then just put them in a dish with b12 enriched water.. one 500 mg tablet disolved in a pint of water will do.. as the minnows lose their vitamin content after a few hours of dying.. and the bread soaked in water is good if he won't drink otherwise too mush bread will actually dehydrate him..
How do seagulls deal with high salt in their diet?
Yes they have special glands which filter out the salt.
+++
You can't "filter" the salt out, but you can remove it by osmosis, and all animals - including us - absorb most of the water they drink by osmosis into the blood-vessels within the intestinal walls. An animal that can drink brine does the same, but its osmotic process has developed to transfer the water but leave the salt behind.
It does not use "special glands". Anyway, a gland produces enzymes, hormones other metabolic chemicals; it is not a filter.
Yes. There are many gull species native to the united states, and several of them are found in Utah. The California Gull is one of the most common species there.
Seagulls are birds, not sea animals even though they use the sea for food.

Why are there no sea gulls in Hawaii?
"No species of gulls breed in the Hawaiian Islands because the habitat there is not right for them. The only time that gulls are seen in the islands is during migration periods, when as many as six species of gulls have been recorded." - George H. Harrison "After perusing the range maps in Harrison's "Seabirds: An Identification
Guide", it appears that there are two main reasons there are no gulls in
Hawaii. First, Hawaii is a fairly isolated group of islands. Second,
judging from the range maps, gulls generally aren't found very far from
large land masses. It appears that gulls are not predisposed to long
distance movements over water, like terns would be. The islands where gulls
are found generally tend to be fairly close to the mainland or "connected"
by other islands in a chain (such as the Aleutians). There appear to be
records of a few species of gulls making appearences in Hawaii, but these
are probably birds that have been blown that way by storms. " - madsci.org
