It can if the aircraft you're on is a helicopter! Further, a plane can theoretically have zero ground speed if the headwind it's flying into is great enough to support lift and the aircraft doesn't have enough power to overcome the wind. This is somewhat counterintuitive, but imagine you were in a boat instead of a plane. If your boat can manage only five knots in perfectly still water, then it will go zero knots if you're trying to sail upstream in a five-knot current. You will make no headway. It's the same with a plane.

If the aeroplane stops flying for even a second then the thrust which it had developed due to the engine throwing back the air will get reduced and hence the aeroplane will start falling down.Then if we want to again start more power must be applied.

If there were a thousand seaguls in an airplane while its flying each weighing two pounds a piece but they were all flying in the airplane would the airplane weigh 2000 pounds more?

Those seagulls would weigh two pounds whether they were sitting in the airplane or flying in it. This is because they have push the air below them (in the airplane) down with two pounds of force to keep two pounds in the air. So, yes, the seagulls would add 2000 pounds to the airplane's weight.

Can aeroplane stay in the sky without movement?

Depends on what you compare it to. An airplane has to move in relation to the air to stay flying, but it doesn't really care about what the ground is doing. If it's windy enough you can point a slow-flying airplane into the wind and remain flying while not moving in relation to the ground.
