Or Wendy's "Where is the gull?" > None of the above.... What I had in mind was one or bothof the following: 1: A sandwich or bait laced with a poison that was fatal to Seagulls. This would directly kill seagulls and would reduce their population directly. 2: A sandwich or bait configured to look like a Piping Plover Nest and eggs, with the "egg bait" laced with a particular chemical that makes the seagulld dreadfully sick, but which is not lethal. This strategy was employed to eliminate "Raven Kill" of lambs at birth, and was apparently extremely effective. A stillborn lamb would be laced with this chemical, and very quickly the ravens learned "Eating little lambs makes me very sick." This strategy would depend on the seagulls being as smart as ravens; I don't know if seagulls are this smart. Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. What do you feel are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
