Seagulls
Many people, particularly mariners do not like seagulls. The reason? Superstitions. A seagull at sea it is said, carries a sailor’s soul and the screech of the bird is the mournful cry of the dead person. Do not touch the gull to avoid injury to the deceased person is another mariners superstition.
