Gulls (Seagulls)

Feeding seagulls in residential areas is often discouraged and may be illegal in some places due to local ordinances aimed at preventing nuisance wildlife and health issues. Many municipalities have regulations that specifically prohibit feeding birds, including seagulls, as it can attract larger populations and create sanitation concerns. It's best to check local laws or guidelines to understand the specific regulations in your area.

Cause if they flew over the bay they'd be called BAYGULLS (bagels)

How: Large wingspan (which gets them up there and keeps them there riding thermals) and a rich-meat diet which makes them strong birds. Their talons are immensly strong, for both killing and carrying prey.

Why (do they fly high): A hunting pattern that includes a very wide territory and fairly large prey. The prey they 'chase' is almost always ground based (or water in the case of Sea Eagles).

Generally it's falcons and hawks that kill other birds 'on the wing', not eagles which are much slower flyers.

You might say that Eagles (and Condors and Vultures which share their 'high flying' characteristics and excellent vision) are selective hunters - that's to say that they look for large prey that are 'ideal' to their purposes. This means that they aren't looking for things that are 'common' (like incescts or mice), but things that are less common such as rabbits and newborn or sick lambs (and in the case of vultures and condors - carrion). Hence they have to look 'further afield' to find them, hence they fly higher to see further.

All animals have an ideal 'energy equation'. The honeyeater works constantly to find extremely high energy food (nectar) and spends prodigious amounts of energy hovering to get it. An eagle on the other hand works at a slower pace feeding for more infrequently, but eating a lot more on each of those occasions.

Seagull eggs are laid and nested two to three at a time, and it takes about 26 days from laying to hatching. It really depends on the gull species. But for herring gulls, the above guideline is fairly accurate. A very informative website about seagulls can be found at http://www.celestin.com/seagulls/faq.html

The Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) is in fact listed on the IUCN's Red List Of Threatened Species ver. 2011.1- but is listed as "Least Concern" (LC) which means it's still a long way from being truly threatened, it simply means that there has been a substantial decline in numbers (since the 80's). This goes for the European Herring gull as well as the North American Herring Gull.

This type of phenomenon is scientifically known as a "gull-nado" Named a gull-nado because of its tornado like appearance, gull-nadoes usually form over restaurants or city dumps in the seeking of a food source and use the circling action similar to Hawks and Eagles when seeking prey. There have been several reports of gull-nado activities along fast food truck stops, and roads heavy with fast food areas also known as a Gull-nado Alley. Gull-nadoes shouldn't be taken lightly and there is a F-1 though F-5 catagory. If you experience a gull-nado, seek the nearest fallout shelter. Sense gull-nadoes usually form near fast food areas that sell greasy, deep fried food, one should head towards a subway, farmers market or anywhere that fresh food is sold. Gull-nadoes will quickly dissipate in these areas and will quickly head towards a better food source.

A seagull is a medium sized white bird with grey tipped wings. They are generally found around salt water regions. They are often considered a nuisance in beach communities and around boats due to their aggressive behavior towards food. There is also a play called The Seagull by the Russian writer, Anton Chekhov.

gully looking hahahahahha but no murderus

it is because it is to hot in the south Vietnam and to cold in the north Vietnam.Trust me ,my family is from Vietnam

If it is dead yes - seagulls will eat just about anything including their own kind

Gulls (not "seagulls") have a buoyant, nearly soundless flight. The noise of the wings at close range is barely audible to human ears.

A sea gull is a secondary consumer. It eats fish which are the primary consumers.

Seagulls are scavengers, they eat anything that doesn't put up too much of a fight. They are known to attack but not kill birds that threatened their nest. But they WILL eat dead or weak birds. Sometimes they will even attack humans if they feel threatened. They are also known to hold a grudge against another animal or human.

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.

yell

-------

Geese do both. Geese let out a cry when they see a stranger walk past them. If you have ever walked past a Canada and he has raised his head to the sky and started honking,? He is crying out to the other members of the flock that danger is near.

A goose does not cry when it is hurt, it tries to run or fly away.

A goose lets out terrible cries when it's mate it killed and it is standing over the body trying to figure out what has happened.

And when a goose goes into mourning when it has lost a mate it seeks solitude and does not wish to speak to anyone.

Does a goose cry tears? I have never observed that.

Geese do yell. They have very loud discussions when they are trying to decide whether to fly or not. One goose will start the conversation and one or two others will respond with the loudest honking you'll ever hear.

I did witness one time a goose from a very large flock would yell as each group of members of the flock flew in to join them. Within 15 minutes, five groups came to join them and every time a group came in that one goose would honk and honk and honk. Now I don't speak the language but judging by her tone and intensity, it sounded to me like that goose was the mother goose and she was yelling at her children for coming home late.

The fastest a seagull can hump itself depends on the height. If it is the highest it can go it ca hump at speeds more than 60 mph. but if it is at midd range it can hump at speeds from 40-55 mph

A gull receives critics of scavenging because of a tale told in the year 2010.

It begins with a women, called dale, with a special talent. Nick, her friend, was enjoying a relaxing holiday in newquay when one day they decided to visit a cave.

Dale then dropped bread on the floor and within seconds, gulls appeared from no where and scavenged the bread. When the meal was over, Dale muttered something and the gulls dispersed.

From this day on, Stinky nick's friend Dale will always be known as Queen of the Gulls and gulls will be known as scavengers.

Nick will never forget this astonishing account of when he came to contace with

'DALE, THE QUEEN OF THE GULLS'

Because they live in different places and have different ways to live. Webbed feet to swim, and claw to grab prey or hang on to trees

Yes, they do. They also eat the eggs of other birds, and... insects.

Oddly, the state bird of UTAH is the CALIFORNIA SEAGULL. These voracious seabirds were given the moniker 'The Mormon Air Force' Because they saved the crops of early settlers near The Great Salt Lake from swarms of locusts. Total annihilation of the crops was imminent when flocks and flocks of seagulls descended -seemingly from nowhere- and would gobble up the locusts until their little seagull bellies were full, then regurgitate (vomit), and start in eating again. What a sight to have seen! -Sorta makes you wish you had seen it for yourself, doesn't it? What a sight to behold!

To be honest I'm not really sure as I was never in this kind situation, but I do have 4 birds at home I do read and am very interested in birds. So if it happens that you see a baby bird in the garden you first should see if his her mother is anywhere then if the bird is left there on it's own get box put a towel in box and a hot water bottle ,then you should contact your local vet, if you do not know how to contact a vet you may go to a nearby petshop and they would definitely help you out.

Yes they sure do. When birds preen they use their beaks to activate skin cells which disperse oils throughout their feathers to keep them waterproof.

Baby seagulls are about the size of twoclenched fists put together... they are cute... but they have a nasty temper... they only come to you if you have food. Don't give them the food, they will not survive and its illegal... :)

Yes!

I wouldn't have believed it possible myself, but I witnessed this very thing happening on holiday in Holland a number of years back. The ducklings weren't even lost - they would swim behind their mother in a line and seagulls were swooped down and just picking them up. They'd then land and swallow the ducklings whole - not pleasant to watch.

When we arrived there were at least nine ducklings present... a week later as we left, there were only two. Not a great fan of seagulls anymore...
