    Why are there no seagulls in the Philippines? I haven't seen any bees either...

    Never seen any either but there are turns which are smaller. There also bees but mainly wild bees and only in the mountains. The only place I have see European bees is the bohol bee farm.
    The wild bees here are pretty big and I wouldn't want to mess with them!

    I think they ate all the seagulls.
    Taste like chicken so I hear.

    Yeah but why are they not migrating from nearby countries. Is there a seagull network that has blacklisted here?

    Yes, that's it, they overstayed their visa and aren't allowed back in...

    Seagulls in general are less common in tropical regions, most kinds prefer colder regions. Not sure about the bees but maybe they also prefer a colder / less humid climate.

    ''a guide to the birds of the philippines'' shows 4 species of gulls in da fils (herring, slaty-backed, black-headed, black-tailed) but none are on negros. 3 species are classified as rare and one is uncommon.

    We often get the large Black Bees here at night (Maluay-Malatapay) they get attracted to the lights and TV etc but no European type Bees, what surprises me is I have not seen a single Crow (raven) like in Oz where they populate the Cities and run amok in rubbish bins etc... Almost every morning I would wake to the sound of Crows communicating with each other where I lived in South East Queensland. I read about Asian Crows (one was sighted in North QLD a few years back and caused a fair ruckus as apparently they like to pluck the eyes out of young livestock o.O ~> True or false?)

    There are no sea gulls or crows in Hawaii either.
