No Seagulls

Description
This is a lightweight mod that removes seagulls from your city.

The mod does two things:
- it patches the game so that seagulls are no longer created
- once a save has loaded, it looks up all seagulls and asks Citizen Manager to let them go.

The changes are not permanent: if you disable the mod, the game starts creating seagulls again.

The unmodded game creates quite many seagulls. Here's some trivia:
Each cargo harbor has 5 seagulls.
Each harbor has 5 seagulls.
Each landfill site has 3 seagulls.
Each park has at least one seagull. The exact number depends on the park size and there is also a small random factor. For example, the large park (12 x 13) always has 7 or 8 of them. 5 x 5 parks have 1 or 2.

My city of 110 000 had 448 seagulls. Each seagull counts as an active citizen, and the game can only have 65535 of them at any given time.

Cool trivia! Would it be possible to customize this mod in any way? I'd love for seagulls to only hang around harbors and landfills. I have parks everywhere in my city, so I hear seagulls everywhere... But it'd feel thematic to hear them by the coast.

@Atilly Birds aren't real

Can you update this mod so it works in real life?

I hope there is a mod that configures seagull per building...sometimes I like them on, sometimes I don't

@yao_zhou how, though? There's only an option in Hide It! to block out 'birds' - I want to get rid of JUST the seagulls, not all the birds.

Use Hide it! instead.

seagulls have no rights to be citizens

What made me get this mod, is the seagulls counting as active citizens.

why collosol order decided to make seagulls hover over park asset is beyond me.

this game is so bad without mods lol
