When Do Seagulls Come Inland?

Picking up on infrasonic pulses, seagulls around the world have flown inland a day or two before major earthquakes, sometimes as much as five kilometers, or several miles.

What inland attracts seagulls?

It is a disruption in the ready supply fish, particularly waste, due to changes in the fishing industry that some experts suggest could be a contributing factor in the gulls heading inland. This is matched by a ready supply of waste food in cities and towns for the gulls to feast on – in particular at rubbish dumps.

Why do seagulls come inland in July?
