Does it have to be embroiderd? if it so small could you not use a black sharpie and just do a stylised bird. The ones like the artists make a V with small side bars.if its going onto an embroidered piece of fabric then it will look sewn.
just a thought.

Found a seagull outline 2inches- maybe to big
Maybe you can use something here

I'm not sure if they have a seagull but embroidery library has a lot of tiny birds on their dollar page.Have a look. Hope this helps.
