Seagulls are one of the few animals that can drink salt water. The reason is that above the bird’s eyes there are special glands that help it eliminate excess salt from the body. Most of the seagull’s body is covered with white feathers while the wing tips are black or dark in color. Some gulls are gray or all white. Seagulls have strong bodies with webbed feet. Seagulls ‘ food includes insects, earthworms, small rodents, reptiles and amphibians. They also eat nuts, fruits, and human food scraps. The enemies of seagulls are large birds of prey, such as eagles. Seagulls are very intelligent. They use breadcrumbs to lure fish and their feet to make rain-like sounds to attract underground earthworms. Seagulls also pass on hunting skills and techniques to their descendants. Seagulls often “steal” food from other birds, other animals and humans. They also often eat young seagulls. Seagulls use body language and a variety of sounds to communicate with each other. Every year, seagull couples gather together to breed and take care of their chicks.
