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.

Are seagulls born with webbed feet or do they develop?
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!
What do you do if you find an abandoned baby seagull?
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... :)
Do seagulls eat baby ducklings?
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...
