Just wanted to let y'all know: you can't kidnap seagulls from a parking lot. (sopuli.xyz)

Seagulls are protected under the "Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918". This means that it is illegal to capture, kill, or keep a seagull in your home (unless you have a special permit).

So, no: you cannot go into the Meijer parking lot, yoink a seagull from the flock, and take it home.

This PSA has been brought to you by an argument with my son during a grocery pick-up.

Thank you.

Not entirely true. In bird culture, that is considered a dick move.

Unless the seagulls pick you up in a giant ass peach with the intention of freeing you from an abusive parent.
