AnswerIt is a common misconception that Utah State Law forbids the killing of the California Gull. While the bird is the state bird, it is not explicitly codified in state law that killing them is forbidden. However, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 forbids the intentional killing or attempted killing, of more than 800 species of migratory birds, including 27 species of Gull.

AnswerThe scientific name for the family Gulls is Laridae. There are over fifty species of Gull in existence today. Each species has a scientific name which is Latinised. The first part of the scientific name is the generic name denoting the genus. A genus is a group of closely related species within a family, or it can be just one or two species considered sufficiently different from other species to merit their own genus. This first part of the name always starts with a capital letter. The second part is the specific name denoting the species. It never starts with a capital. Many of these species have subspecies or geographical races, (for which a third name is added) about which there is much debate! Most gull species belong to the genus Larus ie, typical gulls. Larus is simply Latin for sea bird.Latin names for various speciesCommon Gull (Mew Gull): Larus canusMediterranean Gull: Larus melanocephalusFranklin's Gull: Larus pipixcanLittle Gull: Hydrocoloeus minutus (formerly Larus minutus)Sabine's Gull: Larus sabiniBonaparte's Gull: Larus philadelphiaRing-billed Gull: Larus delawarensisLesser Black-backed Gull: Larus fuscusLaughing Gull: Larus atricillaHerring Gull: Larus argentatusGreat Black-headed Gull: Larus ichthyaetusBlack-headed gull: Chroicocephalus ridibundusSwallow-tailed Gull: Creagrus furcatu (the only member of its genus)Grey-headed Gull: Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus (formerly Larus cirrocephalus)Lava Gull:Leucophaeus fuliginosus (formerly Larus fuliginosus)Silver Gull: Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae (formerly Larus novaehollandiae)American Herring Gull: Larus smithsonianusYellow Legged Gull: Larus michahellisCaspian Gull: Larus cachinnansIceland Gull: Larus glaucoidesThayers' Gull: Larus theyeriGlaucous Gull: Larus hyperboreusGreat Black-backed Gull: Larus marinusRoss's Gull: Rhodostethia roseaBlack legged Kittiwake: Rissa tridactylaIvory Gull: Pagophila eburnea
The scientific name for the American Herring Gull is Larus smithsonianus.
Black-headed gull is the common name of Chroicocephalus ridibundus.Specifically, an older scientific name is Larus ridibundus. That form still may be found even though scientists tend to accept reclassification of many gulls out of the genus Larus. The meaning of the currently accepted scientific name is colored (from Greek "Chroa") headed (from Greek "cephalus") laughing (from Latin "ridibundus") gull.
The word latin in the English language would be Latin.
The closest Latin name for the Seagull is Larus, meaning Gull. Since there are a number of different birds that would be grouped under the general term "Seagull", for example the Herring Gull, California Gull, Ring-billed Gull, then this is the closest Latin name that would cover all types.
