Chroicocephalus ridibundus is the scientific name of the black-headed gull. Larus ridibundus is an older scientific name. It is less frequently used, but still may be found mentioned.
Specifically, the currently accepted Latin name means "colored ("from Greek "Chroa") headed (from Greek "cephalus") laughing (from Latin "ridibundus") gull." The name honors the noisy "kree-ar" call that the gulls emit whenever they cluster in numbers of two or more. Gulls tend to be long-lived, and black-headed gull populations tend to average lifetime achievements of 60+ years.
