The story you tell is incredible. In many urban spots, seagulls aren't much different from pigeons, which have no protection - they can be killed like rats. Up in Washington state (many other spots as well no doubt), the large landfill dump sites have huge colonies of seagulls living seemingly year round.

My nephew was F-bombed this & that & the owner told him he'd never seen anything like it in 20 years, yada yada...The birders take this stuff verrryyy seriously around these parts:
Cape May is at a crossroads for bird migration. Every spring and fall, thousands of migrating birds pass through the area. Subsequently, birders from all over the world have flocked to Cape May to witness the migrations.
Happened right here....although the vid is old, it's probably the same eatery seen at the start of this clip.
