Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about gulls and seagulls:
The term “seagull” is a colloquial name often used to refer to various species of gulls that are commonly found near coastal areas. Gulls are a family of seabirds that belong to the Laridae family. So, essentially, seagulls are a type of gull.
Gulls can be found in various habitats worldwide, including coastal areas, beaches, cliffs, lakes, rivers, and even urban environments. They are adaptable and can thrive in both natural and human-altered habitats.
Gulls are opportunistic feeders with a diverse diet. They consume a variety of foods, including fish, crustaceans, insects, small mammals, eggs, berries, garbage, and even human food scraps. Their diet largely depends on their habitat and availability of food sources.
The legal protection of gulls varies depending on the species and the country or region. In some areas, certain species of gulls may be protected under wildlife conservation laws, especially during their nesting season. It is important to check local regulations regarding gulls and any specific protections in place.
Gull migration patterns vary among species. While some gull species are migratory and undertake long-distance journeys to breed or seek food, others may be resident birds, staying in their breeding areas year-round. The extent and distance of migration depend on the specific species and its geographic range.
The lifespan of gulls can vary depending on the species, but on average, they can live for about 10 to 15 years in the wild. Some larger species can live up to 20 or more years.
Gulls communicate through a variety of vocalisations, including calls, squawks, and screams. They also use body postures, displays, and physical movements to communicate with other gulls, indicating their intentions or defending their territory.
Gulls can sometimes be considered a nuisance or pest, particularly in urban areas, due to issues such as aggressive behaviour, noise, property damage, and food scavenging. Managing gull-related concerns often involves implementing measures to discourage nesting or roosting, securing waste disposal, and seeking professional advice when necessary.
