"Seagulls Love Landfills?
Though seagulls are generally associated with water (as the name suggests), many seagulls primarily live on land.
Inland seagulls are attracted to landfills and agricultural property, and are generally considered pests.",
"Is it a bird hitting a plane?
Because it is so plentiful worldwide, the seagull is the bird that is most likely to collide with a plane in the air.",
"Stubborn Parents:
Both male and female seagulls will incubate (sit on to keep warm) their eggs.
The mother will sit for 3-4 hours then switch places with the father, who will remain there for the same amount of time.
The seagull that is not sitting on the nest will feed, hunt, and collect nest materials.
When he or she returns to the nest, if the mate refuses to switch positions and fly away, the bird must push the protective parent off the egg to get them moving.",
"Better than a Net:
California seagulls eat whatever they can fit in their beaks. They're not fussy, but they especially love the alkili fly.
The California seagull will open its mouth and then run from one side of the flies' resting area to the other. As the seagull moves, it eats all the flies in its path.",
"California Seagull?
The California seagull is the state bird of Utah. Why? Hundreds of years ago, the first Mormons traveled to Utah. As the settlers started farms, they noticed that the crops were infested by a plague of grasshoppers.
The aid of one bird, the California seagull, helped the settlers to rid crops of these pests.
In Salt Lake City, there is a statue made of gold in honor of the California seagull, and when Utah entered the United States, the state bird was named the California seagull.",
"Menace to the Military:
Every year the Air force spends 20 million dollars to repair planes that are damaged by sea gulls and other birds that get sucked up into the engines.
When a bird gets sucked into the engine, the motor quits. The consequences for the pilots can be deadly.",
