 Seagulls - eat if desperate. Over here you see more around inland rubbish
dumps than you do around the coast.  I think I heard it said that if you
were
desperate then find their nest as the eggs are more palatable than the birds
but only just.    R>

Reminds me of something I read in an old Reader's Digest.  A tourist was
asking a Maine lobsterman why they didn't eat seagull.  His verbatim
response
was "If you put a seagull and a brick in the oven at the same time, the
brick
would be done first and taste better."
