Where do seagulls go to die?

We have literally thousands of gulls around our area - noisy, dirty, flying rats!

They breed like rabbits in my area because people feed them

We live 26 miles from the sea

I suddenly realised that I have never seen a dead gull

Where do they go to die?

    I've seen quite a few sadly, half decomposed birds are….[redacted]

    Many will prob die out of sight on rooftops, in bushes etc

    Worse is a dead dolphin, laying in the sun on the beach, half eaten, bloated and extremely smelly…..heaven to a dog

    Reserve ranger was grateful for the heads up (part of job recording them) but she did visibly wince at the mental visuals my description clearly gave

    We have A fishing pool near me and as well as a colony of about 30 geese there are many ducks and gulls

    I think it’s the massive ones you get by the sea though had a trip to Lundudno earlier in the year and those birds are huge

    This is in the West Midlands

    Hi Wibbles,

    Seagulls are everywhere, I live in a little village miles and miles away from water and there's a lot flying about but their not so loud

    I live in a seaside town and obviously we do have a lot of gulls.

    I have never seen a dead one.

    I do not have a problem with the gulls but people who feed them are a nuisance even though we have signs saying please do not feed the gulls.

    As a result the gulls are naturally becoming more brazen and aggressive.

    I do not eat outside because the will try to steal your food and attack you.
