Where are the seagulls?

[Justiciar-]

I can hear them by the beach, but when I look for any, there's none to be found. Not a single one. Not even a fake texture effect in the sky.

What gives?

Unless I am mistaken, I think you may be referring to the Peligornis? From what I remember, they are around for sure. If the sound is not for the Peligornis though, then perhaps it's just an added audio layer for immersion purposes? I'm not sure.

Pelagornis / Icthyornis, there are no regular seagulls with the ambient noise. You can also get wolf howl ambient noises where there are no wolves.

I removed icthyornis spawns on my server. Worst thing ever added

They are hallucinations from your previous life.

The zone, atmospheric sounds in the game do not equate always to actual creatures being in the game nor in the vicinity. At night in some zones, you can for example hear a sort of howling not associated with any creatures either.

Its just atmospheric.

there are no segauls just pelgornis or the small pelgaornis

Trust me, in ARK Seagulls should be heard and not seen. They will steal your tools, they will steal your food, they will steal your ascendant pump shotgun, they will steal your cryoed 220 giga and you will shoot them for 5 minutes dealing with Ark's hitboxes and then finally, finally they will die and you'll find out that your items aren't on their bodies and you will rage quit and they will laugh and laugh in their seagull voices and then you will go to the beach to relax and blow off steam and an IRL seagull will come and crap on your head and steal your sandwich and bang your wife who has a seagull fetish and then you will cry and cry because you have nothing left in your life the seagulls took it all from you.

The -sounds- in subzones of seagulls are -not- the sounds of the ichthornis. Its just area atmospheric sounds the sound engineer put in for the areas.

Seagull sounds have been in the game from the beginning. It has nothing to do with the birds in game. It's just atmospheric like retsam1 said.
