Yes, gulls and petrels are related as they both belong to the order Charadriiformes, which includes a variety of shorebirds and seabirds. Within this order, they are classified into different families, with gulls in the family Laridae and petrels primarily in the family Procellariidae. Despite their differences in behavior and habitat, they share a common evolutionary ancestor, making them distant relatives in the avian family tree.
The five major groups of sea birds include gulls, terns, petrels, alcids, and pelicans. Gulls and terns are often found along coastlines and are known for their adaptability. Petrels, including shearwaters and storm-petrels, are known for their long-distance flying abilities over the ocean. Alcids, such as puffins and murres, are diving birds, while pelicans are characterized by their large bills and are often seen fishing in coastal waters.
