GULLS Meaning and
Definition
-
Gulls refer to a group of medium to large-sized seabirds belonging to the family Laridae. They are characterized by their long wings, strong beaks, webbed feet, and the ability to fly gracefully. As adaptable and resourceful birds, gulls can be found in almost every coastal or inland habitat, as well as in urban and suburban areas.
These birds are known for their distinctive appearance, with typically white plumage often accompanied by grey or black markings on their wings and heads. Some species may display more extensive coloring variations, such as the yellow-legged gull and the black-headed gull. Gulls also possess a keen sense of sight and are known for their scavenging behavior, often seen hovering or diving to catch fish, insects, small mammals, or even scavenging for food scraps.
Gulls are highly vocal and utilize various calls and cries to communicate with each other, especially during territorial disputes or courtship displays. They are social in nature and tend to gather in large flocks, particularly during the breeding season. Gulls typically mate for life and often return to the same breeding grounds year after year.
While gulls are generally perceived as coastal birds, many species have successfully adapted to human presence and can now be found in both urban and rural environments. Their opportunistic feeding habits and the ability to exploit available food sources have contributed to their widespread distribution and success as a group of birds.
