All the way from W A...a Seagull from Seabird. The seagull is holding a potato chip. In some coastal places potato chips have become a major food source for these birds . Studies have shown that chip eating seagulls higher cholesterol and higher glucose in their blood than birds with a natural diet, and the birds are significantly heavier.Some coastal towns discourage people from feeding the seagulls by having threats of high fines. Please do not feed the gulls on chips.
