Yes they do and I once saw it happen while buzzing around in harbour one day. A bunch of seagulls were making a commotion and all of the sudden a seal jumped out of the water and snatched one, dragging it down. My captain then told me that the seals around here move their tails close to the surface of the water and try to imitate a fish. When the seagulls come in to inquire, he then turns and strikes. Of course, their diet also includes other things and I've only seen it happen once, so I don't think seagulls are a large part of their diet.
How do you get guano in my tribe?
go to the dark spot of the ocean around your island and click on a seagull. if it flies toward your island, follow it and hope it poops on your island, if so, click on it. you will receive 2 experience and it will added to your inventory under Raw Materials. if it land in the water, it is impossible to get, even when falling from the bird. Also, if the bird does not fly toward your island, it goes out of bounds and never returns. THIS DOES NOT WORK ON THE LAND-MULTICOLORED BIRDS. OR BUTTERFLIES, BUT I ASSUME YOU KNOW THAT ALREADY.
