Seagull: Masters of the Sky and Sea

Flying High and Far Did you know that seagulls are incredible flyers? They can travel hundreds of kilometers in a single journey! Seagulls use their strong wings to glide over oceans, covering vast distances. Some seagulls even migrate, traveling from cold places to warmer areas during winter.

What’s for Dinner? Seagulls are not picky eaters. They love eating fish, which they catch from the ocean. They also enjoy small insects, and sometimes, they visit beaches to find tasty snacks left by people. Seagulls are smart and can even drop shells from the sky to break them open!

Living Alongside Humans You might have seen seagulls in coastal towns and cities. They are comfortable living near people and often gather in places where they can find food easily, like fishing harbors or public beaches.

A Social Bird Seagulls are very social. They like to live in groups called colonies, which can have thousands of seagulls! In these colonies, they build nests, raise their chicks, and protect each other.

The Nesting Season During the nesting season, seagulls build nests on cliffs, beaches, or even on buildings! They use grass, twigs, and feathers to make a cozy home for their eggs. Both the mother and father seagull take turns keeping the eggs warm until they hatch.

Why Do Seagulls Call So Loudly? Have you ever heard a seagull’s loud call? They use different sounds to talk to each other. They might be warning of danger, calling their mates, or telling other seagulls to stay away from their food.
