Bones on the beach

Hello everyone,

My name is John, I am new to the forums you guys have here.
I was hoping to find some info about something we found here on the beach where I live on the east coast, USA. They are bones and they look like skulls but we can not figure out what kind of animal they are from, if anyone knows what they are please let me know, it will be greatly appreciated.

I'm no expert but they are not skulls.

It looks to me like they could be sacral bones or a partial pelvis but I don't know of what.

This is a picture of a human sacrum.

To me those bones resemble those of a sacrum.

The picture of the small one looks like there could have been a tail attached. (?)

Perhaps,dog sacrum and vertebrae.

thank you for the info you guys have posted so far, they do look like the upper torso of a small mammal, maybe a cat ?

It's not upper torso. It's lower spine.

thank you for all the replies everyone, I sent the photos to the ornithological society and they said they are bird bones and belong to seagulls, one male and one female
