Ok, another question about birdies!!! When you go to the beach and you see a pack, or flock, or whatever of Seagulls, howcome there is always a few with gimpy half legs? What happened to thier legs? And why are they the only birds that always seem to always have half leggys? Do Seagulls eat each others legs?

Well seagulls are cannibals if you didn't know that, Well at least that's what I have heard by many bird people. They are scavengers, but why most of them have half legs is don't forget they live by the ocean where there are many Sea Fish, Not just sharks but many small fish that can Yes take off limbs but don't have enough to take out the whole bird. Remember birds are Extremely fast and have great senses for making fast escapes. Also their are many things by an ocean that can cause great harm to a bird and cause Serious Injury such as being bashed against a rock by a water. A bird just like any animal will actually Chew its own leg off if it needs too. I hope this helped you out even though this is my guess not all Facts.

most likely got bit off by a shark or another meat eating fish with sharp teeth because seagulls dive into the ocean to catch fish to eat

No doubt they were injured in some way; perhaps fighting with one another?
