SEAGULLS ARE SURVIVORS IN A CLASS WITH COCKROACHES SO I CAN'T SEE THEM BECOMING EXTINT UNLESS EVERYTHING ELSE GOES FIRST.
PERHAPS THEY HAVE MOVED AND CHANGED THEIR HABITS SO NOT AS MANY ARE TO BE FOUND IN THEIR OLD HAUNTS. HERE IN OKLAHOMA THOUSANDS CAN BE FOUND PICKING OVER THE NUMEROUS LANDFILLS PERHAPS THEY ARE EATING THE SCRAPS FROM ALL THE FAST FOOD JOINTS. IF SO WITH ALL THE CHEMICALS IN THOSE FOODS WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE GIANT OBESE SEAGULLS IN THE FUTURE.

I DO LIKE SEAGULLS AND ENJOY WATCHING THEM FLY BUT THEY CAN BE VERY CHEEKY AND CANTANKEROUS BUT WILL BE YOUR FRIEND IF YA FEED THEM.

I REMEMBER ONE FORUM MEMBER USED TO HAVE PET POSSUMS I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW IF YOU ARE STILL OUT THERE WITH THE POSSUM POSSIE.

LOL, they are adaptable for sure. They'd be in serious trouble otherwise.
Where I am they certainly couldn't survive on the remaining stocks of mackeral, herring and sand eels that genuinely were their staple diet when I was a kid. I remember watching them fish in the summer amongst huge shoals of mackeral and herring just offshore, but there just arent the fish in the coastal waters now.
They are now on the RSPB 'amber' (declining) list in the UK. 'They have suffered moderate declines over the past 25 years and over half of their UK breeding population is confined to fewer than ten sites.' (quote from RSPB website).

I'm suprised now that this thread has expanded to 'all' animals that nobody across the pond has mentioned Raccoons?
They are pretty much the cutest ninja bandits of the animal world!

Raccoons = Rabies here; destructive beasts that will move into your house via the chimney or gable end vent .

Coyotes (fearless) that average 60 - 70 pounds .

All on this tiny cape less than 2 miles wide .

Thems some mighty big Kyyotes y'all grow up there. Wiki says they generally average between 15-46 pounds.
If i were you Rick, i would stop feeding 'em.

They are Red Wolf hybrids .

The Winter den is 150 yards from the house; the Summer den is about twice as far away .
Conservation land .

(spoken in hushed whispers)....tonight on Cape Nature Backyards we will be exploring the habitat of coyote/wolf hybrids at Rick's place. Oh no, there goes Rick's barbequed sirloin steak down into the summer den...
Well yes Jim, that is to be expected, it is a part of their natural hunter/scavenger nature after all....

Ever think of domesticating them and selling them to the tourists.
