Not because of any communications the gulls have with each other! Dropping is a common reaction to being startled or afraid, it lightens the bird and allows them to move a bit faster. And since a sudden noise or movement can startle the whole flock, they would all drop at about the same time.

Why do flocks of seagulls fly under storm clouds?

Flocks of seagulls often fly under storm clouds to seek shelter from strong winds and rain that accompany storms. The lower altitude can provide more stable air currents and a better chance of finding food, as stormy weather can stir up marine life closer to the surface. Additionally, flying under clouds helps them avoid the turbulent conditions higher up. This behavior is instinctual, as birds adapt to weather changes for survival.


Is there a pecking order with seagulls?

Yes, there is a pecking order among seagulls, often determined by size, age, and aggressive behavior. Dominant individuals typically have priority access to food and nesting sites.

Observing their interactions can reveal these dynamics, especially during feeding or breeding seasons.

Can you stop your neighbor feeding seagulls?

It is not illegal to feed seagulls. However, one might argue, if vast flocks of seagulls are being attracted to your lawn because you neighbor is feeding them, that your neighbor is causing a nuisance. I think the first thing to try is to ask your neighbor to go down to the beach and feed the seagulls there, where it will not be a nuisance. Other than that, see if there is anything applicable in your municipal by-laws.
