If I take a young seagull away from the parents...will the parents continue feeding once the bird is returned?

why would you take it away from its parents??
Most states it will be illegal to remove a native bird, unless it is sick, injured or orphaned and then you will need wildlife permits approriate to your state.
i assume you wish to remove the bird for your pleasure, and with no benefit to the bird?

Is this an hypothetical question or something you actually have in mind to do, stokesbrett?
Hypothetical.

I'm wondering, stokesbrett, how & why this question popped into your mind. It seems to have a degree of perversity attached to it if you don't mind me saying.
Did any of you people considered Brett's question is a genuine concern for a injured bird? Your replies show a high degree of the ignorance. Get your minds out of the gutter. ..
Hi bashkano. I would have thought there was adequate exploration of the possible motives behind stokesbrett's question to have revealed an injured bird being at its root. In fact, stokesbrett made it clear her/his question was hypothetical so I doubt there's a need to seek minds in gutters. What do you think, bashkano?
Hypothetical - maybe as in wondering which course of action is more beneficial for the bird??? Wondering if removing the bird from it's environment and seeking veterinary help would be a better option than leaving the bird where it is, hoping it will continue to cope well with it's injury. Was that motive adequately explored??
Bashkano, I believe the opportunity was well presented for stokesbrett to put those scenarios.
