In addition to the city ordinance, there are also federal laws that protect seagulls. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it illegal to kill, capture, or possess any migratory bird, including seagulls. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act also makes it illegal to kill, capture, or possess bald eagles or golden eagles, which are both found in South Carolina.
So, if you're thinking about harming a seagull at Myrtle Beach, think twice. It's against the law and you could face some serious consequences.
