What better way to learn about the mighty gull then from a real ornithologist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Oxpecker:<\/strong> My pleasure, but I&#8217;m not actually an ornithologist. I don&#8217;t study all birds, just seagulls.\u00a0My degree is in Seagullology Studies. Truthfully, I&#8217;m just a man who loves those gorgeous seagulls and everything about them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily Soak:<\/strong> Interesting. So, other than college, how do you know so much about seagulls?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Oxpecker: <\/strong>I&#8217;ve lived at the Jersey Shore my entire life. I&#8217;ve seen so many sexy seagulls outside doing seagull stuff. I think that alone gives me enough credentials to be an expert in seagullology. I also read a children&#8217;s seagull book when I was about 8 years old.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily Soak:<\/strong> Indeed it does. Well, let&#8217;s just cut to the chase, doctor, because we&#8217;re trying to keep this article down to a minimum so we don&#8217;t overload people&#8217;s brains. So tell me, what&#8217;s the best way to get those birds to come into someone&#8217;s backyard and stay?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Oxpecker:\u00a0<\/strong>It&#8217;s all about dominance, for one. Seagulls are extremely dominant birds. They <em>must<\/em> be in charge at all times, whether they&#8217;re dealing with animals or humans. The best way to show your submissiveness and to attract seagulls is to take off all your clothes, lie face-down in your garden, and wait for them to approach you. Once those seductive birds see that you&#8217;re willing to be dominated in every way imaginable just to get them into your garden, they&#8217;ll know that they can control you.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4009\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4009\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4009 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/dailysoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SeagullAttract.jpg\" alt=\"Naked man on beach getting attacked by ravenous seagulls.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4009\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Oxpecker released this secret photo taken during one of his seagull submission experiments. Here we see a few burly seagulls showing their dominance. He claims that seagulls search out subservient humans and animals because of the bird&#8217;s macho attitudes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Daily Soak:<\/strong> Wow, interesting squared. So what&#8217;s number two, doc?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Oxpecker: <\/strong>Uh, I just told you what the three things are. I said the best way to attract seagulls is to take off all your clothes, lie face-down in your garden, and wait for them to approach you. Unless I&#8217;m bad at math, that&#8217;s three things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily Soak:<\/strong> Oh, I thought all those things were part of number one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Oxpecker:\u00a0<\/strong>Believe me, I&#8217;ve attracted thousands of those<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysoak.com\/StagingSite\/index.php\/2019\/10\/06\/hunter-under-fire-after-accidentally-killing-seagull-thinking-it-was-rare-palila-bird\/\"> sultry seagulls<\/a> that way. Remember what I said, it&#8217;s all about dominance. For example, right now I have twenty-two husky male seagulls waiting for me to get back home and cook them dinner. If I&#8217;m even one minute late they&#8217;ll all take turns slapping me across the face with their massive beaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY&#8211; What&#8217;s more breathtaking than a group of loud, cackling, defecating seagulls in your home garden and what&#8217;s the best way to obtain that pleasant ambiance?
