Living habits of seagulls

Seagulls are the most common seabirds, which move in pairs or groups of three or five or fly in the air. In the seashore, seaport and fishing ground rich in fish and shrimp, they float on the water in groups, swim for food, fly low, and like to cluster in the food-rich sea. Seagulls feed on coastal insects, mollusks, crustaceans and worms and grubs in cultivated land.

They also prey on small fish on the shore and pick up leftovers discarded on the shore and on ships. Sometimes they prey on other birds, including their own eggs and young birds. If seagulls fly close to the sea, the weather will be fine in the future. If they wander along the sea, the weather will get worse gradually.

If seagulls leave the water and fly high, flying from the sea to the seaside in droves, or flocks of seagulls gather on the beach or in cracks in rocks, this indicates that a storm is coming. Seagulls can foresee storms because their bones are hollow and tubular, and they are filled with air without bone marrow.

This is not only convenient for flying, but also like a barometer, which can predict the weather changes in time. In addition, the hollow feather tubes on seagulls' wings can feel the change of air pressure sensitively, just like a small barometer.
