Answer 3

I wouldn't be tempted with seagulls, but squab is delicious, and is closely related to a pigeon.

Answer 4

They are foul fowl.

As you say, they feed on rubbish, so I don't think I'd fancy eating them - tough AND toxic!

They are like flying rats, vermin of the sky. I think you should try it and then let us know what you thought.

Answer 8

Well Bub, The only way for you to know is to eat one. Go to the city dump kill yourself a Seagull. Oven roast it with potatoes and vegatables all around, or cook how ever you want to. Then get back to us with the results.
