No, no, if they don't get big enough, you bob their wings and sell them as
B-gulls.  ('Curse you, Red Baron!')

Er, honestly, folks, when on one of the smaller Boston harbor islands, I 
nearly stepped on something I first thought was a fluffy little rabbit.
"A rabbit with pin feathers...on its wings...and with a beak?!  How bizarre."

Mommy and Daddy Seagull don't much like it when you walk through their nesting
areas (usually in areas free from human habitation, which is why you won't see
them even if you live on the coast), and they fly overhead squawking a lot.
