I’d be pretty surprised if their perspective could be anyhow relevant to us, besides climate change, oil spillings and rise and fall of fishing, shipment businesses. A talking seagull would probably look at everything we say like we are some cryptobro 4channers obsessing over deeply unserious and niche stuff. Catherine tornado murdering the coast? Yeah, now we talk business. The fall of the market in 2008? That’s some fake inlanders’ shit I can’t care about.
In spite of questionable but regularly cited source Finding Nemo (2003), I find it’s faulty to assume we can predict what a seagul can say if it can talk in our language whithout having any reference material in reality. But if I may have some horses in this race, and I don’t, I believe they (a) wan’t blame humans for what we did to their wellbeing for it’s not an obvious enough connection to make judging by their limited perspective, but (b) they’d sure vocally reflect on modern problems they encounter, like having infrequent and decreasing game in the waters, calling us stupid big featherless fucks not worthy shitting on either way because it is simple enough to conclude that this and our overwhelming presence in their ecosystem are somehow connected.

Would a talking seagull say anything besides “mine”?
