Seagulls, also known as gulls, are a type of seabird that belong to the family Laridae. They are found all over the world and are often seen near coastlines and bodies of water.

Some common species of seagulls include the Herring Gull, the Ring-billed Gull, and the California Gull. Seagulls vary in size depending on the species, with some being as small as a sparrow and others being as large as a turkey.

Seagulls are omnivores and have a varied diet that includes fish, crustaceans, insects, small mammals, and even garbage and human food scraps. They have adapted to living in urban areas and are often seen scavenging for food in parks, parking lots, and beaches.

Seagulls are known for their loud calls and can be quite vocal when communicating with one another. They are also highly intelligent birds and have been observed using tools and problem-solving techniques.

Seagulls mate for life and build nests on the ground or in cliffs. They typically lay 2-3 eggs at a time and both parents take turns incubating the eggs and feeding the chicks.

While seagulls are a common sight near coastal areas, they can also be considered pests as they often steal food from people and can be aggressive towards humans. It's important to keep a safe distance from seagulls and avoid feeding them to prevent them from becoming reliant on human food.
