Discovering Seagulls: The Clever Coastal Birds

Seagulls are sea birds known for their white bodies, grey wings, and yellow beaks. They are often seen at beaches and are known for their sneaky behavior, such as stealing food. Seagulls are carnivorous scavengers, eating small fish, crabs, and other available food sources. Despite their scavenging habits, they are intelligent birds that communicate through squawks and body movements. They work together in flocks to find food, using clever techniques like stamping on the ground to attract worms. Seagulls are also skilled at flying and can drink both seawater and freshwater, making them well-adapted to beach environments.
