Gulls (Seagulls)

yes they are , they are generally found around shanty towns

I believe so, yes. My grandfather recollects it being seen from Avon, Norfolk County, MA.

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.

Seagulls belong to the family Laridae.

Yes, I've seen them eat french fries.

fish and seaweeds

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!

No, they don't I think

Yes, in fact there have been sightings of seagulls being eaten by sharks.

no

You probebly had some food in your hand or near you that the seagul wanted.

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.

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 ?

I was in weston super mare on Boxing day 2009 and saw the funniest sight. A seagull was in a front garden opposite the sea tapping the grass like it was dancing - then we realised that it was bringing worms to the surface and having some dinner, we watched for about 3 minutes and he had three worms - ingenious, is this common?

Laridaphobia. I know it because I am scared of them and just ahd to look it up. I couldnt resist.

In fact, yes they can.

Seagulls have a remarkable digestive system that allows them to digest things very well, even bones.

So if a seagull happens to nab some KFC from ya, no worries as long as they don't choke on it.

The word most commonly used for a seagull in Peterhead is Scurry.

both but usually in the sea as they don't like to get to close to people
