There are 50 seagulls spread over Liberty City, and Johnny has to shoot every one. They sit in out-of-the-way spots on roofs, ledges, lawns, sidewalks and piers across Alderney, Algonquin, Broker, Dukes and Bohan. The tables below list all 50 with a photo of the spot and a map with the bird circled. Your reward for finishing is the Innovation bike, and the hunt also counts toward the 100% checklist.
How seagulls work
A seagull you can shoot is marked by a red glow on the ground or ledge under it, and it squawks as you get close. At night the glow is easy to see from a distance. Listen for the squawk when you walk through a new area, because most birds sit in corners that are hard to spot by sight alone.
Each time you hit one, the game posts a notice that reads “N seagulls left in Liberty City.” The number counts down from 49. It is the easiest way to confirm that a bird actually counted, and to keep your own tally honest if you lose track of which ones you have already done.
When the count gets low the wording changes. At one seagull left you see “Just one seagull left in Liberty City.” Shoot that last one and you get the final notice, “All seagulls killed.” The Innovation is then yours. The notice tells you nothing about where the last bird is, so keep the list below handy and cross off the spots you have cleared.
A sniper rifle makes the hunt much quicker, since many birds sit on high ledges, roofs and walls you can reach from the street with a scope. A helicopter helps too, because it gets you over the rooftops and out to the shoreline spots. All five regions are open from the start of the episode, so you can do them in any order and never have to wait for a mission.
| Region | Seagulls | Numbers |
|---|---|---|
| Alderney | 16 | 1 to 16 |
| Algonquin | 15 | 17 to 31 |
| Broker | 5 | 32 to 36 |
| Dukes | 7 | 37 to 43 |
| Bohan | 7 | 44 to 50 |
Tips and route advice
Do one region at a time and finish it before you move on. Your bike gets you around fast, and a car lets you carry a rifle without worrying about the weight of the ride. Pick up a sniper rifle before you start, because one trip to a gun shop saves a lot of climbing.
Alderney is the biggest group. The first three sit in the Acter Industrial Park, close together, so take them in one loop before you move on to Tudor. The rest of the island follows the west coast up to Westdyke, so ride north along the water and you will pass the seawall and park birds one after another.
Algonquin has 15 birds, and many are in or around Middle Park, so plan to spend time on foot. Use the park paths to reach the lawn and plaza spots. The Meat Quarter, Triangle and Chinatown birds are on streets and walls, and a couple sit up high on awnings and lamps where a scope helps.
Broker has only five birds, and they sit in four different neighborhoods. Pack them into one trip from the south, and go up toward Beechwood City for the last one.
Dukes is the airport region. Two of the seven are inside the Francis International Airport grounds, so you will need to get through the entrance. The others are along the highways and in the neighborhoods to the north and west of it, plus the one on Charge Island.
Bohan finishes the hunt. Keep a sniper rifle handy, since the cliff and pier birds sit well away from the streets. Save the island’s shore spots for last, since they are the farthest from the road.
