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.

Almost happened to me once, but then I ran. I ran so far away. I just ran, I ran all night and day.

It's not so bad, really. From up here, Aurora borealis comes in view
