Gulls are everywhere around here. My wife and I like to go to a restaurant/bar right on the beach with a covered eating area outside and relax. If you want to see a couple hundred of gulls materialize simply OUT OF NOWHERE, toss a french fry on the boardwalk that runs past the place. A small piece of bread tossed next to our table is bound to bring about a dozen sparrows out of the woodwork too. They frown on us feeding the birds but everyone does it.
