Answer 11

This all depends on your morals. Can you eat a bird that you can hold a converstion with about  the philosophy of Nietzsce, Plato and Dostoevsky? Personally, I would find the opportunity to test such a massive intellect unmissable. However, it is said that the Seagull is as tasty as it is knowledgeable.

So in answer, I suppose it is up to the individual!!!

Answer 12

Just about. Place in a slow cooker and don't add any salt

Answer 13

I would advise against it - especially given the fact that they are often connected with spreading of new strains of salmonella.

Answer 14

technically no but you have most probably eaten one and you never even knew it!

Seagulls are highly toxic to humans because they contain purple dye.  the reason i say that you may have eaten one is because the pigs used for pastrami ham are fed exclusively on seagulls.  the pigs liver removes all of the purple and only leaves trace amounts giving pastrami its unique colour.

If you have ever had pastrami you are eating a little bit of seagull.

Answer 15

Three Mexican fishermen whose motor failed were recently rescued, they had been carried from the coast of San Blas in Nayarit all the way past the Marshall Islands, a disrtance of about 10,000 miles. They were lost for over 9 months and during that time they ate (among other things) seagulls, raw.

So, I guess the answer is: YES they are edible!

(One of the fishermen of the story has just gone back out fishing after resting for a month, so I guess they didn't taste all THAT bad.......)

Answer 16

you can eat any bird, might taste c**p, but u would survive

Answer 17

Yes.

Answer 18

yes seagulls are edible but alot of them carry infections because they scavenge for food and pick up all the nasties out there

Answer 19

Mmmmm...scavenger food.

Answer 20

Yes I had a Seagull pastie today

Answer 21

Yeah, there delicious with roast potatoes!!!!!!!!

Answer 22

Not unless you want all kinds of diseases they literally eat the c**p that comes out of sewers into the sea and when they ain't doing that they eat the same diet as pigeons. So really strongly advise you stay away from eating seagulls for the time being!

Answer 23

no, they are vermin and eat rubbish. probably taste vile.
