I've seen a sea gull swallow a 5-inch blue crab alive and whole!
Whats the difference between a seagull and a tern?
To my understanding, a tern is a seagull but a seagull is not necessarily a tern. (It's kind of how a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't always a square.) A tern is a subfamily of seagulls (as a beagle is a subfamily of dogs). This particular seagull is smaller than most, has a long forked tail, and thus flies more gracefully.
How can you put the seagull away?
Get the old picture for the photo guy. Then take the scuba suit and talk to the captain. Fetch his lobster trap. He will give you a lobster. Use it to turn the light around. The seagulls will fly away.
Wild ducklings eat mostly insects, algae and grain. Soggy bread and crackers aren't healthy for them. They will also like finely chopped strawberries and apple or romaine lettuce. Make sure it's small enough for them to swallow.
You can also buy chick or duck starter (non-medicated) or duck feed pellets that are small enough for them to eat.

Did the Graf Zeppelin fly over Massachusetts in the late 1930s Before the Hindenberg disaster?
I believe so, yes. My grandfather recollects it being seen from Avon, Norfolk County, MA.
Why dom seagulls have a large wingspan?
Seagulls have large wingspans for the same reasons that gliders do. Long and slender (high aspect ratio) wings produce less drag for a given amount of lift (at least at slow speeds) than short, stubby ones. Seagulls use these efficient wings to allow them to stay aloft with ease while taking advantage of updrafts caused by winds deflected by cliffs, buildings, even waves. In windy conditions, seagulls can use waves to stay aloft by engaging in what is known as "dynamic soaring" - flying into and out of regions of higher and lower wind speeds.
Why do seagulls have different colored eyes and legs?
There are many different types of seagulls meaning there will be a great diversity in leg and eye color. Different leg and eye color is one of the main ways of identifying a seagull species.
Here are some examples of different seagulls;
- Lava Gull
- Lesser black backed Gull
- Greater black backed Gull
- Herring Gull
- Black headed Gull
Most of these species have different leg and eye color to the rest.

What is the difference between a seagull and a tern?
Gulls, informally also known as seagulls, belong to the family Laridae, while terns belong to the family Sternidae. They both belong to the suborder Lari, which is part of the order Charadriiformes. Therefore they are related, but not the same. Terns tend to be smaller and they have shorter legs. Terns have long pointed wings, while the wings of the gulls are usually broader and rounder. The same goes for the beaks. The beaks of the terns are straight and sharp, while the beaks of the gulls are hooked. Terns dive into the water to catch a fish, while gulls float above the water. Terns usually avoid people, while gulls can be often seen in cities. Terns prefer to stick to their fish diet, while gulls will eat almost anything from fish to bread, biscuits, French fries and even garbage!
Yes, in fact there have been sightings of seagulls being eaten by sharks.

Why do seagulls follow tractors?
Because tractors let of a smell we interpret as diesel, but seagulls interpret this as fish.
Yes they do. Here's some more information. There is no bird that is named a seagull. They are gulls. There are different types of gulls but there is no actual "seagull". I just learned that not too long ago and I have been around gulls my whole life. You learn something new every day.
Why do seagulls gather on neighborhood football fields?
Seagulls are very intelligent when it comes to finding food sources. Not only will they return and stay, but they will tell all the other seagulls. Larger and larger numbers will gather where food sources are readily available. Put away all garbage, ensure that park garbage can lids are on tightly and that they are emptied frequently. Don't worry about the seagulls starving. They are very effective at finding other food sources.
they do
I can find no published study or even an oblique reference to the myth that suggests they might not! Seagulls, and birds in general, have a single opening called the cloaca, which serves for removing both the waste products of the kidneys and the intestines. This has a muscular sphincter to hold it closed, much like the anus. The bird's digestive tract, though shorter than ours, still contains bacteria and these bacteria will produce gas. When the gas pressure exceeds the elastic strength of the cloaca sphincter, the result must inevitably be a fart. Possibly the reason seagulls might have acquired a reputation for never farting is that when a seagull poops in mid-air the person below suffers the immediate consequences. But with a mid-air fart, who's to know ?
