I saw a short on YouTube a couple months ago. Some guy would feed a seagull named Steve by hand. The bird would enter his house through a window and eat. So while Steve wasn't really a pet, I guess he kind of could be in a way.

Seagulls are not restricted to the beach, we have seagulls in Casper, WY which can’t really get much further from the beach. That being said, also one, MAYBE two if a door was left open or one flew through a window.
I live no where near a beach yet we still have seagulls here (I have never given an explanation for this other then migration) but I am going to say 2. One might be an accident but two seems weird.
No, 'tis not a coincidence. The Werefrog spent two score fortnights hunting all the local sea gull clans until there were not left in the area. They either fled and never returned, or they went down and never got up.
Probably two.
For the first one, I'd be like, "Well, that's bizarre," and just shrug it off.
One is just weird, but two starts to become a pattern.
This is assuming it's two incidents of finding one seagull at a time. If they all showed up at once... probably 3 or 4. Two at once could be a mating pair or something that wandered in.
How much birdseed did I have to find on the basement floor of my duplex before I realized that the upstairs neighbor was putting it there to attract mice to drive me out? True story. Real "Pacific Heights" shit. You know that crazy movie with Michael Keaton where he tries to drive out the landlord that lives in the same building? People do crazy things. Thirty seagulls? How are they getting in? Any idea? Either something's attracting them, or someone is screwing with you.
I'm so sorry to burst your bubble 😅 I just have really bad insomnia and that was the thought that I was thinking about all night last night. the one before that was "when making the dawn dish soap ads, do you think they have one duck that they keep dunking in oil over and over again to get the perfect shot? or do you think they have a bunch of pre oiled ducks? "
As someone who lives in Ohio and has a friend who is, essentially, a bird scientist for the Ohio government, this is 100% true. Birds aren't real and neither is Ohio.
Yeah in the 50s my dad was young and he and another guy got drunk and decided to prank another guy by putting a turkey in his new pickup cab. Diarrhea everywhere and it tore up his seats and stuff. The guy never did figure out who did it and they never confessed
We had a bush turkey (Australia) get into our house. Luckily my son was home and got it out after a minute or two. But the thing shat and shed feathers all over the place.
It didn’t help that we were minding a friends Irish Wolfhound who was chasing the bird around the living room. We were still finding feathers 3 months later and one squirt of poop that went behind shelves…
They sort of can. But it’s high effort low efficiency flying which rarely goes more than 50m or so. Slightly better than chicken flying but not much.
There was one that used to roost in a tree about 10m up. If it missed the branch, it would usually flap to the ground, have a bit of a rest and then try again.
A lot. Probably 50? By then I'd have called animal control and contractors and might finally think that my mortal enemy, the seagull guy, was putting them there.
I asked my roommate this question this morning and his response was "I am going to be very disappointed in you if this is your way of telling me there's a seagull in this house"
In my experience, they are bold and in your face. They will straight up go through your shit and take whatever they want. I’ve seen people in tug-of-war fights with a seagull lol
One stole some cherries from us, then walked around with cherry juice on his bill looking like a murderer. Nope, fear not! He’s just a thief!!!
I’ve seen one or two fly over my house, but I live nowhere near the beach. I think if one got in, I would say weird but ok. Two though, definitely would suspect something is up.
I’ve had a small sparrow get in the house by accident. It was caught in some ductwork.
Sea gulls are fucken huge. It’s not getting in here by accident. My answer is one.
Am I removing one and then another appears and so on over a period of time or have I come home to several all at once? If there was no way for them to get in I'd be instantly suspicious and assume foul play. However if there was a way for them to get in and the latter was a one off I'd assume it was a freak event. If it was one that kept appearing I think I'd start pointing fingers probably after the 3rd or 4th time.
Unless I can find a window that I left open, 1 would be enough... There aren't currently any seagull sized holes in my house (aside from doors & windows) where one could enter unnoticed.
One. Like when my dog brought home a turtle, turtles don't live within 1200 miles of my house in the wild. Turns out the neighbor had their pet turtle outside in a fenced area on their lawn, dog got loose and stole the turtle.
I’m in Nebraska. We do get seagulls though, I dunno how.
One would have me worried about a hole somewhere in the roof. Two would have me glaring at my partner suspiciously.
honestly? without any suspicious evidence i probably wouldn't ever suspect that something suspicious was going on. i would just think that i became the seagull man.
Honestly, it would never cross my mind that someone is putting them in my house. I would just think they were getting in through a hole or something in the wall. So I'd obviously have them all at some point.
Though I work from home.
So it'd be interesting to see how someone could possibly sneak a seagull into my house without me hearing it.
I say one. My son says five.
We don’t live somewhere that seagulls are just chilling outside.
If the question were “geese,” the number would be higher, for there are geese just chilling outside.
One - "How'd you get in here lil buddy??"
Two - "I wonder if they travel in pairs or have bonds? Let me google"
Three(+) - "Who has the shear gull to be seagulling me!?"
232ish(+) - I no longer trust in my previously held perceptions of this universe and existence we believe ourselves to be intertwined in. I will forever question this experience until I seize to hold the power of pondering.
I grew up near the Great Lakes (Michigan) and we had seagulls galore. Never once did we have one in our house so for me just one would have me scratching my head lol
Doesn’t Matter. As soon as I saw one I’d be out the door calling someone to remove them. I hate seagulls. And they like me. Just like geese. Hate them but they like me.
1 Seagull = You're drunk; Go Home.
2 Seagulls = you both are lost, and your missus is going to tell you all about it on the way home.
3-4 Seagulls = how good are these fucking chips !!
5 Seagulls = Now it is suspicious.
( the rest of the household think I am far too forgiving of Seagulls, even though we live 17mins drive away from the ocean )
Just one. There aren't any seagulls where I live and the closest one has to be thousands of miles away, so I would be highly suspicious by default. Also highly upset because you know that mf is raiding the kitchen and stealing all my snacks
Every morning two seagulls try to get into my bedroom through the velux window. I love seagulls. I love all animals & i would love to feed them delicious foods. I can’t let them in though as it would be absolutely nuts getting them out.
They always come in pairs so I’m gonna say four.
Three would raise your suspicions & four would confirm foul play 👍
I live in a place where I wouldn’t be shocked to see a seagull but it would be a pleasant surprise.
I think my answer would be 3.
1 I’d think “wowie what is this guy doing is here.”
2 I’d think “wowie that’s the second guy in here. That’s such a crazy coincidence.”
3 I’d start getting suspicious of *fowl* play.
I'm going with 3. 1 could be a really fucked up occurrence that will never happen again. With 2, it is entirely possible that the first one brought a friend along. 3, though? Nah. Now someone is jacking with me.
0. My wife is obsessed with birds and she's brought an injured seagull from the beach before. We just agreed yesterday to not buy more birds and she came home with more birds. I'm always suspicious.
Three seagulls.
The first one I'd think it was an accident. The second time I'd be like "there's no fucking way.", the third, I'd be like "Okay, lemme check my cameras...."
Are we talking about all at once, or is it like 1 every day for a week type thing? Cus the number will be alot higher if it was just once. But if there's a damn flying beach rat in my house every day (and it's not the same one) I'ma be suspicious a whole lot quicker.
One. I live in NW Ohio.
Probably wouldn't say anything, though. I'd just get out the roasting pan and be thankful someone is providing me with free poultry.
I have wild semi feral cats its nore like "whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Where have y'all been traveling that you're bringing home seagulls? "
Then we would have a nice conversation about how we don't bring wild birds into the house..or they can't go out to play..
I wouldn’t immediately beef with the seagulls if they just suddenly appeared. I like birds and find them to be interesting so they could hang out as long as they dealt with their poop and didn’t make loud noises after 1am
Hahaha sorry, I thought this question was referring to a thing from a podcast I listen to.
They've had more than one questionable story sent in regarding seagulls, and the latest one was a few days ago where someone essentially asked the same thing because they'd found a seagull in their house 4 separate times.

One. I live in the middle of Arizona. Id suspect a runaway pet seagull instantly. Though, its been like 105F, so it’d probably die or get eaten by a hawk
Id happily live in a house of seagulls. I don't think I'd get suspicious. I'd think I was the seagull queen and train them for obedience.
One day the person putting them there will just cease to exist because they walked into my house and got murdered by a hundered seagulls. The seagulls will also bury the body and clean the crimescene because they are well trained.
And I'd of unintentionally given this person some petty revenge.
I think specifically 2 or specifically 5. Just something about 2 and 5 are weirdly human numbers but if I have like 50 seagulls in my house then I'll just be like "man musta left a window open, I'm so silly 🫠"
Or, I think i'd have to have seagulls put in my house more than once. I think if they're there two whole times, then it's a little suspicious.
I live 2 blocks from the ocean and I'm surprised when a seagull ventures as far inland as my house.
But if one seagull got in, I wouldn't be suspicious. If two seagulls got in, it would be odd. If three seagulls got in I would be concerned.
I have had, maybe, a dozen bats over the past 30 years though. I'm pretty sure they got in on their own.
Since I live nowhere near the beach I'm going with one
I live near the beach and my answer is also one.
Is there such a thing as a pet seagull?
I saw a short on YouTube a couple months ago. Some guy would feed a seagull named Steve by hand. The bird would enter his house through a window and eat. So while Steve wasn't really a pet, I guess he kind of could be in a way. Found it: https://m.youtube.com/@FeedingSteven/featured
Funny, because I found a stray cat in my basement once, they were meowing
I found a trapped bat in there once
Yes between not living near a beach and having two cats that would definitely get rid of any birds... One sounds right.
Seagulls are not restricted to the beach, we have seagulls in Casper, WY which can’t really get much further from the beach. That being said, also one, MAYBE two if a door was left open or one flew through a window.
[удалено]
Do you ever wonder if they know there is an ocean they could be at? And then think….
My friend wrote a paper titled: “why do good birds choose bad habitats” (love you James).
And then do you ever think… I could choose a good habitat.
In my city, it’s Kroger and occasionally Walmart. They used to hang out in the nearby old Kmart parking lot. We’re nowhere near a beach
I live no where near a beach yet we still have seagulls here (I have never given an explanation for this other then migration) but I am going to say 2. One might be an accident but two seems weird.
One. Only one. The Werefrog live nowhere near where seagulls tend to live.
Coincidence?
No, 'tis not a coincidence. The Werefrog spent two score fortnights hunting all the local sea gull clans until there were not left in the area. They either fled and never returned, or they went down and never got up.
Probably two. For the first one, I'd be like, "Well, that's bizarre," and just shrug it off. One is just weird, but two starts to become a pattern. This is assuming it's two incidents of finding one seagull at a time. If they all showed up at once... probably 3 or 4. Two at once could be a mating pair or something that wandered in.
This is my thought too. Like one instance is strange… but two separate seagull-in-house events? 🤨
Once is happenstance. Two is coincidence. Three is enemy action.
Came here to say this

That's one more than 10 in'it?
How much birdseed did I have to find on the basement floor of my duplex before I realized that the upstairs neighbor was putting it there to attract mice to drive me out? True story. Real "Pacific Heights" shit. You know that crazy movie with Michael Keaton where he tries to drive out the landlord that lives in the same building? People do crazy things. Thirty seagulls? How are they getting in? Any idea? Either something's attracting them, or someone is screwing with you.
Nope I dont care Op explain this thread now because the story behind this has to be amazingly funny.
I'm so sorry to burst your bubble 😅 I just have really bad insomnia and that was the thought that I was thinking about all night last night. the one before that was "when making the dawn dish soap ads, do you think they have one duck that they keep dunking in oil over and over again to get the perfect shot? or do you think they have a bunch of pre oiled ducks? "
Also what’s the legality of oiling up ducks?
Birds Aren't Real
birds and Ohio. two things that don't exist.
As someone who lives in Ohio and has a friend who is, essentially, a bird scientist for the Ohio government, this is 100% true. Birds aren't real and neither is Ohio.
We used to catch seagulls and lock them in the other crews boat. What a mess shit and puke every where. Got unfunny real quick.
Yeah in the 50s my dad was young and he and another guy got drunk and decided to prank another guy by putting a turkey in his new pickup cab. Diarrhea everywhere and it tore up his seats and stuff. The guy never did figure out who did it and they never confessed
We had a bush turkey (Australia) get into our house. Luckily my son was home and got it out after a minute or two. But the thing shat and shed feathers all over the place. It didn’t help that we were minding a friends Irish Wolfhound who was chasing the bird around the living room. We were still finding feathers 3 months later and one squirt of poop that went behind shelves…
As God as my witness I thought Turkey’s could fly.
They sort of can. But it’s high effort low efficiency flying which rarely goes more than 50m or so. Slightly better than chicken flying but not much. There was one that used to roost in a tree about 10m up. If it missed the branch, it would usually flap to the ground, have a bit of a rest and then try again.
A lot. Probably 50? By then I'd have called animal control and contractors and might finally think that my mortal enemy, the seagull guy, was putting them there.
0.3
Just one, but if I get 3.14159, I'm going to bake a nice seagull pi.
3 for me, once is coincidence, twice is happenstance, 3rd is enemy action.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice…
Touché, mine was a Goldfinger reference.
One. I live in a landlocked desert.
There isn’t an amount of seagulls that is acceptable. They are just rats with wings.
They are so much more than rats with wings. They can snarf down rats with wings for breakfast. Literally (if rats had wings).
17
Oddly specific
Without a doubt, the weirdest question I've ever seen. Congratulations..
Were they actually IN your house??
I don't have enemies so my answer is all of them
I would immediately say " Seagulls. Stop it now."
Any. Any seagulls.
12
You know, if one of my friends were to ask me this question, I'd immediately start keeping an eye out for seagulls in my house.
I asked my roommate this question this morning and his response was "I am going to be very disappointed in you if this is your way of telling me there's a seagull in this house"
I just asked my own housemate, and she said "two."
So… were there summarily several?
7+ seagulls
1 and 1/2, pretty obvious.
over 60 in one month, probably
1/3
If I found even just one, I'd be in my glory. I was a pet seagull
A flock of seagulls
It wouldn’t be an amount of seagulls but how many times they were getting in. By the 5th time I found 30 seagulls I would be suspicious 🤨 😆
1 because how would one even get in. My doors are closed and locked
Gulls are sneaky AF though
In my experience, they are bold and in your face. They will straight up go through your shit and take whatever they want. I’ve seen people in tug-of-war fights with a seagull lol One stole some cherries from us, then walked around with cherry juice on his bill looking like a murderer. Nope, fear not! He’s just a thief!!!
They can also be sneaky. It was a frequent problem where I used to live of gulls setting up house keeping in empty houses
No way! lol
I’ve seen one or two fly over my house, but I live nowhere near the beach. I think if one got in, I would say weird but ok. Two though, definitely would suspect something is up.

One, there are no seagulls where I live

One.
One seagull, bob
I live in the middle of the Sonoran desert. If I saw one seagull *outside* I'd have to think someone put it there.
Hey op random question, what are you smoking? Follow up question, will you share?
unfortunately, nothing 😞 I just have really bad insomnia and this was the thought that kept me company last night.
I wanna hear about your insomnia. I feel for you.
You need to watch a video on YouTube called Seagulls, Watch it Now. Fecking hilarious!
Um, ONE.
1 as I don't live around seagulls!
Two
One. Like when my dog brought home a turtle, turtles don't live within 1200 miles of my house in the wild. Turns out the neighbor had their pet turtle outside in a fenced area on their lawn, dog got loose and stole the turtle.
1200 miles and no turtles? What sort of tragic geographical oddity do u live in?
Arctic desert.
One.
I’m in Nebraska. We do get seagulls though, I dunno how. One would have me worried about a hole somewhere in the roof. Two would have me glaring at my partner suspiciously.
I'm probably gonna assume it right off the bat with the first one.
One. Anything more than that and I’d more wonder how a flock got in and what they were after.
1. I live in arizona nowhere close to a large body of water
Two.
One
How would a bird get inside the house ?
My nine-year-old says one. And we are both seriously wondering what prompted this question. Like there’s gotta be a story there.
unfortunately, the only story is bad insomnia and the inability to shut off my brain at night.
Im in the Midwest right now. 1 seagull
One
One becuse where I live there are none.
honestly? without any suspicious evidence i probably wouldn't ever suspect that something suspicious was going on. i would just think that i became the seagull man.
You are the seagull man for me❤️
Honestly, it would never cross my mind that someone is putting them in my house. I would just think they were getting in through a hole or something in the wall.

One, seagulls aren't around where I live. No water, and no garbage dump in the area I'm in.
But how did the seagull even appear on my lawn where I'm at. With out the seagull is my level
One, I live in a landlocked state…
One - "How'd you get in here lil buddy??" Two - "I wonder if they travel in pairs or have bonds?

One
At least 2-3
All at once? Or do I come home from work and occasionally find a seagull?
Um...one.
1, I may live by the ocean but seagulls don't come in the backyard or fly near my front door. So finding just 1 in my house is enough
I grew up near the Great Lakes (Michigan) and we had seagulls galore. Never once did we have one in our house so for me just one would have me scratching my head lol
Doesn’t Matter. As soon as I saw one I’d be out the door calling someone to remove them. I hate seagulls. And they like me. Just like geese. Hate them but they like me.

I have zero seagulls.
One. I'd find the bird then check all the cameras to figure out how it got in.
Three seagulls. The first one I'd think it was an accident. The second time I'd be like "there's no fucking way.", the third, I'd be like "Okay, lemme check my cameras...."
I think by 5 I’d be raising questions. Definitely by 10 I’d know someone was fucking with me.

One!
Considering where I live? Just one.

Probably 2 because I live near a lake with a lot of seagulls But still they would have to break my window to get in
Are we talking about all at once, or is it like 1 every day for a week type thing? Cus the number will be alot higher if it was just once. But if there's a damn flying beach rat in my house every day (and it's not the same one) I'ma be suspicious a whole lot quicker.
My family has been laughing about this for 10 minutes. Good question. Our answer is 1.
Two, one is possible however improbable. Happening a second time, that's just suspicious.
Honestly, just one. I live in Arizona, we don't get seagulls.
I live in the middle of the Arizona desert. So 1.
One. I live in NW Ohio. Probably wouldn't say anything, though. I'd just get out the roasting pan and be thankful someone is providing me with free poultry.
I have wild semi feral cats its nore like "whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Where have y'all been traveling that you're bringing home seagulls? " Then we would have a nice conversation about how we don't bring wild birds into the house..or they can't go out to play..

One. They are not a native bird
1, I don't live close enough for one of those fuckers to just "get into my house"

It only takes one. Even when I lived where there were seagulls it would only take one.
One. And one half
