Don't know about seagulls.  However, a long time ago, the university I
was living near had a higher penalty for molesting (chasing, teasing)
the DUCKS than for raping the female students (university regulations,
the state and city laws were reasonable.) I also had a small hoard of
Fizzies (a tablet that made carbonated beverages when you plopped them
in water -- do they still make Fizzies?  I haven't seen 'em in
years).  And I am _certain_ that ducks can belch. Depending on the
flavor of Fizzie, they burp in a variety of different colors. As funny
as the time a Catholic friend of mine was playing priest with some of
the other neighborhood Catholics, and used Fizzies for hosts.  And if
you're out there, Linda, thanks for discovering Fizzies!

(Another good use for Fizzies is to make a bottle of dummy pills if
you have a roommate that swipes your painkillers to get high.
Alkaseltzers just aren't as pretty.  Sigh!)

About seagulls, I half-remember that they feed their kids by bleching
up slightly-used fish.  Which implies that they can too belch.  But I
won't take the chance of killing a gull to satisfy my curiosity.  If
I'd heard this rumor, I'd've been afraid to provide the Fizzies to the
duck molesters.  So thanks for not telling me until now!

BTW, I'm heard it's now equally illegal to molest ducks and rape
co-eds on that campus.  Equality, ain't it wunnerful?
