i went on a small weekend with my mom, and there were a LOT of seagulls. so today's bird is the seagull!! seagulls are medium to large birds, usually gray and white with black/gray markings on their wings and, in some species, their heads. they have strong, often hooked, bills and webbed feet. their size varies quite a bit depending on the species, from small ones like the little gull to larger ones like the great black-backed gull. seagulls are found all over the world, often near coastlines, but you can also spot them inland around lakes, rivers, and even urban areas like landfills and parking lots. seagulls are omnivores, so they eat a huge variety of things! they'll munch on fish, insects, eggs, small mammals, and even human scraps like leftovers from picnics. they're pretty adaptable foragers. fun facts : - seagulls are known for their loud and varied calls, which they use to communicate with each other. - they are super intelligent and have been observed using bait to catch fish. - some species of seagulls can drink saltwater because they have special glands that filter out the salt.
