gulls mainly come further inland during rough seas. as its harder to get food from the sea during these times, they then come inland to see what they get instead. if you had the choice to go under a massive wave for a fish... or simply go inland and get all u can eat at the local tip/waste area... what would you choose!? lol..
hope this helps. x
Why do seagulls look at their feet?
what kind of question is that. why do you look at your feet?
duh; smart response - it was probably a real question -
- I have pictures of flocks of gulls standing at the shore line - they periodically bow their heads and looks at their feet for a minute or two then look up again - this is not sleeping behavior -
- I can't find any reference as to why this odd behavior but I suspect it might have something to do with their two salt glands removing high salt concentrations from their blood - they drinking sea water - the excess salt is eliminated as water droplets from their nostrils - when they bow their heads, the salty droplets fall from their beaks -

If you give a seagull meat will it explode?
No. A gull will not explode from eating meat or from an alkaseltzer tablet. Both are legends. While I have you here, I learned that there are no birds called "seagulls". They are just "gulls". There are different types of gulls, but no seagulls.
actually in Scotland there are birds called seagulls most commonly found in places near the sea hence the name, maybe you should do your research and i have no idea if its true but i woul dlike to find out for my own knowledge
ACTUALLY, they're called 'gulls'. One type of gull is called a seagull, just as another is called a larus gull, a piscivirous gull and there are even gulls that dwell in caves. So you're both right.
no it is extremly dangerous and is high in citrus acid
The average size of a sea gull's egg is 1 to 2 ounces, depeding on the conditions the parent sea gulls were living in. The amount of food and water can change the size of the egg. The physical condition of the gull also counts, but either way, the eggs are mostly 1 to 2 ounces, as I said before.

Where do seagulls go at night?
Gulls like to sleep out in the open where they can see predators coming. They sleep on quiet stretches of beach or on sand dunes or sand bars. If they are not close to the beach, they will sleep in any open area - even a parking lot!
well only if the seagull finds a dead human on the ground or something and just starts eating the skin and gross stuff liek that

Subfamily Larinae, family Laridae, particularly of the genus Larus.
sea lions eat sea gulls, manatees, and walruses during the 2 weeks before hibernation.in winter they eat camels, and Bengal leopards.during summer they eat human.JK. but yeah they do eat sea gulls.
Within the British Isles there are seven principal species of gull, however only a few are commonly associated as being trouble makers. Many of us have been directly affected by the scavenging nature of these birds generally those with a taste for fish and chips.
Gulls are not just a seaside enemy, increasingly they are found inland attracted to arable farming areas due to their extended scavenging radius. Herring Gulls in particular forage within 10 km of their nests while Lesser Black-Backed Gulls will travel much further to feed. Many gulls are natural scavengers, and take advantage of landfill sites and towns.
So how do you get rid of Seagulls?
Firstly we need to look at why the gulls are present at a particular location, in general terms the gulls are looking for both food and shelter (habit and habitat).
Annually, the UK produces over 7,000,000 tonnes of food waste, much of which goes to landfill. This rotting organic matter is the fast food outlet of choice for gulls (as well as many other unwelcome visitors) which, once consumed becomes another unwelcome addition to their chosen habitat. This habitat could well be your property.
The answer is a simple one, change. Take away their food supply and restrict their access to suitable habitat and they will leave of their own accord. Although a simple answer, achieving the solution is not simple and can be costly. However allowing the problem to persist can be even more costly and not just in financial terms, but can lead to significant health and safety issues and a negative public image.
So what is available to aid in achieving the changes?
Several measures are available to both deter gull species and to protect your property including bird netting, bird wires, and bird and a whole host of devices which will aid in deterring the birds from both properties and foraging sites such as visual and the latest Bird Flight systems.
All in all, there are no shortcuts to getting rid of seagulls and expert advice should be sought from bird control professionals.
What is a Bird that is a relative of the seagull?
