I don't get it-- do seagulls just love a deal? What is going on here?

The warmer days mean we'll soon start seeing a familiar phenomenon: Seagulls literally flocking to Walmart parking lots. It doesn't seem like it's specific to any one Walmart, either, although I've noticed they seem particularly fond of the the North Utica and Herkimer ones.

There's no sand. There's no tide. A Walmart parking lot doesn't look like any beach I'd want to visit. So why are dozens of seagulls routinely spotted at Walmart?

Well, unfortunately, the answer is pretty simple.

WALMART PARKING LOTS ARE A SEA OF TRASH

Walmart parking lots are pretty disgusting. Why? Because humans are pretty disgusting. You'll generally find a whole lot of litter and garbage in your average Walmart parking lot. We just can't seem to be bothered with finding a trash receptacle-- what, with our ultra-busy lives and all. We can throw that Dunkin Donuts cup right on the ground, right? That Wendy's Baconator® wrapper, that's biodegradable, right?

Seagulls flock to Walmart parking lots because thems good eatin'. Seagulls are scavengers, which means their main food source is dead stuff. When in their natural habitat near the ocean, they can be seen picking at crabs, mollusks and other dead organisms. But they also love trash, and there's always plenty of it in a Walmart parking lot. Pizza crusts, French fries, used Band-Aids, it's a veritable smorgasbord for a garbage-hungry bird. Although it sometimes doesn't feel like it, Walmart parking lots are still a part of the Earth. So we could all stand to be more conscious about throwing garbage away in their proper receptacles. Send those gulls back to the sea. It also wouldn't kill us to return our carts to the corral, but one problem at a time.

How do I stop my recycling bags from blowing away?

There are ways to avoid this happening - storing your bins in an enclosure or beside a wall or fence will help protect them from the wind, avoiding overfilling your bin and securing the lid can prevent waste escaping.

But, when wind coincides with household bin collections, it can create windblown waste which can wreak havoc on wildlife and the marine environment. Whether it’s half-empty bins toppling over or blown open lids, rubbish and recycling escaping onto our streets has a big impact on increasing litter pollution. Not only does it create unsightly piles of rubbish and spoil areas of natural beauty but it can also enter waterways to contaminate water sources for both land and marine wildlife not to mention washing up on our beaches and coastlines. Litter blown into drains can cause blockages, increasing surface water flooding, and can be very dangerous to clear.
